INTRODUCTION. 



Gettysburg. 

Twenty-five years ago the valley in which is situated the borough of 
Gettysburg was resonant with the roar of artillery, the rattle of musketry, 
and the angry voices 'of over one hundred and fifty thousand combatants. 
For three long and sultry days the tide of battle swept through and around 
the little town, drenching with blood the only spot north of Mason and 
Dixon's line on which a general engagement between the Union and Con- 
federate forces took place. Thousands joined the great majority during the 
battle, and many thousands more from injuries received on those eventful 
days. 

The T);:t ie of Gettysburg was the turning point in the great Civil War, 
which, beginning at Sumter, ended at Appomattox. All the force and 
antagonism of the conflict was concentrated here, and such an idea as tins 
'Re-Union gathering would have been laughed to scorn at {hat time by every 
3ombatant. 

But the survivors of those contesting armies now meet on the battlefield, 
not again as foes; not as representatives of any party or issue; but as 
American citizens, who, having tested each other's courage, enduranse, 
and love of principle, unite in demonstrating that the war is over; that 
as honorable foes, having accepted the arbitrament of the sword, they now 
to grasp each other's hands as friends and brothers, rejoicing in a 
result which enables them to claim joint interest in one great, growing and 
prosperous country ; and that as a united people they are capable of the 
greatest things, in peace, in war, or in any position that the Ruler of the 
Universe may call u])on them to occupy. 

The programme of this great, this unique gathering of the Veterans of 
the Army of the Potomac and the Army of Northern Virginia, together 



with many facts concerning the Battle of Gettysburg., the Armies who 
fought there, the men who held command there, and the services at the 
dedication of the several monuments- will be found within these pages. 

Johx Tregaskis. 



A WORD FOR OURSELVES AND OUR ADVERTISERS. 

A series of delays in the issuance, acceptance and promulgation of the official formalities, 
indispensable to a Re-Union of such dimensions and importance, postponed the date of this 
publication from May 1 to June 1, aud again to June 15. One compensating incident was the 
fact that its publishers were thus enabled to better estimate and provide for the wide popular 
demand for their Memorial Magaz'na. Orders for it came in through G. A. R. Posts in every 
State of the Union in such quantities as to justify an initial edition of thirty thousand copies, 
instead of ten thousand, as at first proposed. They were also enabled to make more adequate 
provisions for the demand sure to come from the general travelling and reading public. The 
Re-Union Souvenir Programme and Report will be sold on all trains leading to and from 
the scene of the celebration, on the grounds, and may be had from newsdealers everywhere, 
or during the remainder of the year from the office of the publishers, No. TOO Broadway, New 
York City (removed from Room 31, Cooper Institute). 

The vast amount of research, arrangement and correspondence involved in this work have 
prevented its publishers from expending much time in bringing it to the attention of adver- 
tisers. Our advertising patronage is accordingly all the more select, and the more worthy of 
the confidence of readers. It comprises only those whose patriotic sympathies and national 
instincts led them readily to identify themselves and their businesses with the most unique 
soldier jubilee in history. 

')ur Railroad Advertisers. —To the railroad enterprises represented in these pages we 
especially invite attention. "While almost every railroad in the land had a direct interest in 
an event so invifing to tourists, and so directly calculated to promote fraternal feeling and 
inter-communication between all sections, we bespeak for those which are here catalogued 
the good will and patronage of our reader. 

The Gettyseurg and Harrisburg Railroad passes through the heart of the South 
Mountains, and as picturesque scenery as can be found in America. The gap is narrow and 
funnel-shaped, causing a constant current of air along the line of the road that tempers the 
heat of the day and makes the nights delightfully cool and pleasant. One of the attractions 
of the Re-Union will be to sojourn along the line of the Gettysburg and Harrisburg, visiting 
the battlefield each day. and returning to the road side village selected, by the 10:20 train 
each night. 

The Pennsylvania Railroad, one of the most enterprising and far reaching in the 
extent of it:; territory, scarcely requires us to call attention to its facilities for accommodat- 
ing the travelling public. It is kuitled to the patronage of all who desire to visit the battle- 
field, and we hope every veteran, his family, and his friends, will buy the tickets by this line 
— the first to concede the reduced rate, and the first to look after the soldiers' interest whde 
paying due regard to its own. 

A Great Industry and its Founder.— The attention of manufacturers amongour read- 
ers the country over will be concentrated upon the full page cut representing the world- 
famed Reliance Works of Messrs. Edward P. Allis & Co., located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. 
This establishment derives additional general interest from the fact that it is the product of 
a single contemporaneous lifetime, and is the largest of its kind in this country under indi- 
vidual, as distinguished from corporate, ownership. It sends grist and saw mills, em 
and other machinery to England. Japan, Australia, and to South America, as well as to the 
remotest points of the Xorth American Continent. One of its latest contracts was to furnish 
Chicago with new pumping engines for .$309,000. Thf* senior proprietor, a man of rare sim- 



plicity of manners and fineness, combined w ith ftu-ce of character, is known in this metropolis 

and in the capitals of Europe as a discriminating and munificent patron of art. In the North- 
west he is a power alike in thought, in politics, and in practical afTairs. He never has any 
un adjustable differences with the vast community of those whom he emphv s. 

Battlefield Monuments. — One of the most enterprising a^d seccessful firms engaged 
in erecting 'monument stones on the field at Gettysburg is Messrs. Frederick & F.eld of 
Quincy, Mass. This is the only establishment possessing their own quarry ; and from this, 
situated on Culp's Hill, they supply material not only for all their own work, but to other 
parties in the same line of business. Another feature of this house is that it does all its own 
woik in every branch of the trade. It is ready and able to put up monumental work in 
every section of the country. 

Fine Art Bronze Work — Notably among the increasing number of bronze founderys 
in this country is that of Hon. Maunce J. Power of New York, known as the Natural Fine 
Art Foundery. Its reputation, always of the best, is steadily increasing, and its success in 
busine-s is onlj r another evidence of what business capacity and strict integrity can 
accomplish. 

The Washington Life is an insurance company which we can personally recommend 
with peculiar heartiness and sincerity. Aside from its universally recognized soundness and 
conservatism, and the attractiveness of its improved and unique system of Combination In- 
surance, it is commended to our approbation and regard by fourteen years' experience as a 
policy holder of the uniform spirit of friendliness and hospitality which animates all its 
officers and departments. From the day when introduced to the Washington Life, to the 
present, we have noted what seemed to be a family resemblance in the geniality of its 
officers and efficient corps of agents, among whom are many well known business men dis- 
tributed throughout the country. Those who deal with this company will find themselves, as 
we have done, unexpectedly in a circle of friends. " Devotion to the interest of its policy 
holders" is justly the motto of the Washington Life, and we have no doubt but that the 
spirit of that motto inspired the system of Combination Insurance mentioned by the Com- 
pany on another page and fully described in its catalogues and circulars which may be had 
on application by mail.

'63 AND 



Cover with a mantle of roses 
The graves of our dead. 
Who were the heroes who bled. 
Whether they followed or led, 
Nothing discloses. 

Weed-grown the ramparts, and still 

Are the desolate trenches. 
The fort on the crest of the hill, 
The cannon that mangle and kill, 
The frosts of the winter now chill, 
The early rain drenches. 

What though we thought they were wrong ! 

Were they worse than all others ? 
From the same mountains and plains, 
With the same losses and gains, 
With the same blood in their veins, 
They were our brothers. 

Slumber the sword in its sheath; 
Unto the carnage of death 

Let no man draw it. 
How earth is likest to hell 
Nobody better can tell 

Than we who saw it. 
Limb torn asunder from limb, 
Blood till our eyesight grew dim, 
Filling the cup to the brim 
As devils bore it. 

Peace comes again to the land — 
Friendship we must not withstand — 
Offers once more her hand 

Now and forever. 
Keep us, God, in Thy sight, 
Guard us and guide us aright; 
Never may factionist blight 

Or traitors dissever. Franklin" W. Fish.

HOW TO REACH GETTYSBURG AND WHAT IT WILL COST. 



The energetic efforts of General Daniel Butterfield, Chairman of the Committee on Trans- 
portation of the Army of the Potomac, resulted in a very great reduction in the rates of fare 
on all the railroads. The New England Passenger Association, however, with the money- 
loving proclivity of the wooden nutmeg Yankee, repudiated their agreement after it was 
made, so that the Boys in Blue from that section will have to pay higher rates of travel than 
their comrades in more liberal parts of the country. The Pennsylvania Railroad is the best 
line to travel by. All veterans should purchase their tickets from agents of that road at 
Harrisburg, and thence through the picturesque route of the Gettysburg and Harrisburg 
Railroad to the Battlefield. 

Lower rates can be obtained in any locality by clubbing together and purchasing tickets. 
The actual rates from the principal points for Single Round Trip Tickets will be as follows 
from the points named :

Tickets will be of the iron-clad form and must be stamped at Gettysburg to insure return 



The good faith of the veterans has been pledged to use every effort to prevent any misuse 
of tickets or abuse of the concessions granted by those not going to the Re-Union, and it is 
expected that veterans will notify railroad agents of any such misuse or abuse within their 
knowledge. 



Where large parties go the rates are fixed at one mile each way, so that if 500 can arrange 
to charter a train the price of tickets will reach the low sum of $4.40 each from New York 
City, $4.45 from Elmira, §4.20 from Newark and 3.10 from Wilmington, DeL

VISITING THE BATTLEFIELD. 



A short rapid transit railroad extends from the Gettysburg and Harrisburg Depot to Little 
Round Top Park, a walk of only three minutes to the summit, where General Weed was killed, 
and from which point General Meade viewed the progress of the battle. 



The hack rates at all times, except during such a thronged season as the Re-Union, is likely 
to be, are as follows : Three dollars for one or two persons ; a horse and buggy for one, or a 
two seated carriage with one horse, and a driver that acts as guide for t ^o persons, or a car- 
riage with t»vo horses and guide, for $5. The carriage seats five persous besides the guide. 
For all parties above five, the charge is $1 per bead. These charges entitle the passengers to 
a ride over the battlefield of the second aud third days' fight, and includes Culp's Hill, Ceme- 
tery Hill, National Cemetery, Emmittsburg Road to the Peach Orchard, the Wheat Field, 
Devil's Den, Round Top, and in Battlefield Avenue" to the Angle where Hancock repulsed 
Pickett's charge, Ziegler's Grove, and back to Gettysburg. It requires from four to five 
h.iurs to make the drive, and the time depends on how long the passengers wish to spend at 
tae different points of"interest. The distance is about eleven miles. 

At the time of the Re-Union the town will be filled with hacks from all around the country! 
the owners of which hope to make all the money they can. They cannot be regulated, 
(5'iarge what the}- please, and Gettysburg gets the blame for it. There will be hacks from 
places fifty and sixty miles away. Most of them will deal fair, but some will take ad- 
Vftatage of any one. 



IV. 



THE TWENTY-FIFTH ANNIVERSARY OF THE BATTLE OF GETTYSBURG 



The celebration of the Twenty-fifth Anniversary of the Battle of Gettys- 
burg promises to be one of the most striking events in history. 

In spite of the foolish efforts of a few cranks at Washington, who profit 
by the privilege given them by the rules of the House to interpose capricious 
objection, and thus defeat the measure to provide the means to shelter the 
thousands of expected veterans, preparations are steadily going on, and 
the Blue and the Gray will fraternize on the field of battle, furnishing the 
world with a lesson that every nation should take to heart. 

The celebration of the anniversary is counted from the first moment a 
dedicating party reaches the field until the last visit for such purpose is 
paid ; or, during 1888, from June 12 to October 10. This period of time 
will include the Ee-Union of the Two Armies, and the programme in chrono- 
logical order is as follows (details of exercises are given in Chapter VII. of 
this book): 

BEFORE THE RE-UNION 

June 12, 13 and 14. — Visit of Shaler's Brigade and dedication of the Monuments of the 65th 
and 122d New York, and 23d and 82d Pennsylvania Volunteers. June 21 — Dedication of the 
96th Pennsylvania Volunteers' Monument. June 30 — The States of New Jersey and Wiscon- 
sin will dedicate all the Monuments to their troops engaged in the battle. The 76th New York 
Volunteers will also dedicate its Monument on that day. On that same Saturday the Depart- 
ment Encampment of the G. A. R. of Pennsylvania will convene for its summer session on 
East Cemetery Hill. 

THE RE-UNION. 

Sunday, July 1. — The 147th New York Volunteers will open the campaign by dedicating 
their Monument at 10 a. M., the 39th New York Volunteers following suit at 1 P. M. Atth 
same hour the Society of the First Corps will meet in Reynolds' Grove for memorial services 
and to dedicate a Corps Monument. During the afternoon the following New York regiments 



will dedicate their Memorials— 83d Infantry (9th Militia), 41st, 45th, 54th, 68th, 97th, 119th, 
134th, and 121st Pennsylvania. In the afternoon there 'will be a concert at the G. A. R. En' 
campment. 

Monday, July 2, will be the great day of this fraternal jubilee. The following Monu- 
ments will be dedicated — Greene's Brigade, 78th, 102d, 60th, 137th, and 149th New York, on 
Gulp's Hill, commencing at 10 a. m. In the afternoon the Excelsior Brigade, 70th, 71st, 72d, 
73d, and 74th New York Regiments ; a special Monument by the 73d (2d Fire Zouaves) , and 
86th, 64th, 62d, 145th, and 152d New York Infantry, 9th New York Cavalry, Battery D, 15th, 
and 4th Battery, New York Artillery ; 98th 68th, 110th, 105th Pennsylvania Infantry. 

During the afternoon the Confederate Veterans will come in detachments, and will be 
welcomed as soon as they arrive. When all are on the ground, or when General Cooke shall 
notify General Sickles, the " Assembly" will be sounded, and the formal Re-Union will take 
place. Circumstances alone will dictate the place, and accidentthe method, but the programme 
for the speech-making is as follows : General Daniel E. Sickles will call the assemblage to 
order, Major George W. Cooney, as Secretary, recording the ceremony. After his intro- 
ductory remarks, General Sickles will present Governor and Lieutenant-General John B. 
Gordan of Georgia, who will introduce to the Southern Veterans Governor and Major-Gen- 
eral James A. Beaver of Pennsylvania. Governor Beaver, in the name of that Common- 
wealth and the Veterans of the Union Army, will welcome them as fellow citizens, friends 
and brothers, to the hospitalities of the Keystone State. General Sickles will then present, or 
some gentleman will be assigned by him to the pleasant duty of presenting, to the Union 
Army Veterans, Captain and Professor McCabe of Petersburg, Va., who will respond to the 
address of welcome. Then, if President Grover Cleveland is present, he will address the 
gathering as the Chief Magistrate of one people, with one glorious destiny before it. Speeches 
by Governors of States present may possibly follow, and then the camp fires will be started 
and kept up all night. Business meetings of the Corps Societies and Army of the Potomac 
will precede the Re-Union-ceremonies. 

Tuesday, July3.— Meetings of the several societies will take place during the morning, 
notably that of the 6th United States Regular Cavalry, and the Encampment of the Sons of 
Veterans of Pennsylvania will commence. During the day the following Monuments will be 
dedicated : 3d Battery, 13th Battery, and Battery B, New York Artillery ; 5th New York 
Cavalry, 42d, 67th, and 146th New York Infantry, the Stone to General Hancock, and the 99th 
Pennsylvania Infantry. The corner stone of the Memorial Church will be laid in the morn- 
ing, and the public exercises of the Society of the Potomac in the afternoon will be followed 
by a banquet in the evening. 

Wednesday, July 4, will be spent in fraternizing by the Blue and the Gray all over the 
field. 

AFTER THE RE-UNION. 

Many of the Monuments on the field, or now being erected, will be dedicated later in the 
season ; those who have reported dates are as follows : August 8, General Warren's bronze 
Statue, by Duryee's Zouaves, 94th New York Infantry. August 9, 8Sth Pennsylvania In- 
fantry. August 29, 4th New York Cavalry. September 4, 108th, 123d New York Infantry,

and 44th New York Infantry, all Maryland, Maine, and Vermont Monuments, and 2d New 
Hampshire Monuments. October, 84th, and 110th Pennsylvania. 



NATIONAL MEMORIAL CHURCH. 



Several years ago a plan was conceived and matured of erecting a Memorial Church on the 
Battlefield of Gettysburg, whose stones shall be inscribed, and donated as memorials of the 
dead of both armies, and thank offerings of the living. The church is to be named National 



Jlemorial Church of the Prince of Peace. Nothing can well appeal more movingly to the 
Learis of churchmen than the plan here set before them. That Church, upon whose loving 
unity the t< rrible events of the Civil War made no mark, is surely the one above all others to 
embrace the memorials of both sides in rearing a lasting Temple to the Prince of Peace. 
Hundreds of memorial stones have already been contributed, and the corner stone will be 
laid on the morning of July 3, when probably the largest gathering of veterans of both sides 
that will ever take place will be witnessed. 



^ 






The architect, Mr. Dempwolf of York, Pa., says that $20,000 will be the entire cost of the 
beautiful edifice, and the special memorials to be donated may be windows, bells, furniture 
and decorations, stones and tablets, suitably inscribed and to be placed m the large monu- 
mental tower. Also, tiles with names burned therein. Designs and full particulars will be 
furnished upon application to any one who wishes a stone or tablet to the memory of friend, 
comrade or relative. The Church is to be located on the corner of Baltimore and High 
streets, and the ceremonies will be under the direction iof Bishop Howe of the Diocese of 
Central Pennsylvania ; addresses will be made during the services by representatives of both 
the Blue and the Gray. 

G-rand Army Encampment. — The Semi- Annual Encampment, Department of Pennsyl- 
vania, Grand Army of the Republic, will be held on East Cemetery Hill from June 30 to July 
6, inclusive. The meetings will be held under a large canvas, owned by the Department. 
This being the summer encampment there is no settled programme. Tents are erected on 
Cemetery Hill for the use of comrades and Posts. Straw is put in them, and the comrades 
provide, or bring with them, everything else. Concerts are given in wrap morning and 
evening by a band. Dress parade takes place every evening, and two or three camp fires 



will be lighted during the week. The idea of the encampment is to have a grand Re-Union 
and week of pleasure : and everything done, tends to that end ; so the comrades are given 
the fullest latitude. None but comrades of the G-. A. It. are provided with quarters in this 
section of the ground, under the rules and regulations of the Department. The officers of 
the Department are : Frank J. Magee, D. C. ; W. R. Jones, S. V. C. ; George R. Hart, J. V 
C. ; H. G. Williams, A. Q. M. G. ; Thomas J. Stewart, A. A. G. ; John V. Miller, Insp.'; 
Thomas E. Merchant, J. A.; W. W. Greenland, C. M. O. ; S. F. Chapin, M. D., and Rev. 
John W. Sayers, Chap. 

Sixth United States Cavalry. — The survivors of the Sixth United States Cavalry are 
ordered to report for duty on the Battlefield of Fairfield, near Gettysburg, Pa., on Tuesday, 
July 3, 1SS8, -at 2 o'clock P. M., sharp, to take part in the Fifth Re-Un'on of that glorious old 
regiment, and the anniversary of one of the greatest battles that ever took place between 
troopers. George C. Piatt, President ; H. G. Mueller, Secretary. 

Cushing's Battery, A, 4th United States Artillery, will take part in the Re-Union, firing 
the several salutes during the celebration. 

Battery B, 1st Pennsylvania Light Artillery, will meet at the Tablet on East Cemetery 
Hill, at 4 p. m., July 2, for a good and hearty meeting, and to perfect the arrangements for 
the dedication of its Monument in 1SS9. 

Sons of Veterans of Pennsylvania will hold a Division Encampment at Gettysburg, com- 
mencing on July 3, and closing on the 5th. 



ANNUAL MEETING OF THE ARMY OF THE POTOMAC. 



Aside from the Ee-Union of the Two Armies and Anniversary of the 
Battle, the members of the Society of the Army of the Potomac will hold 
their Annual Meeting at Gettysburg. 

The members of the Society and of the several Corps Societies will as- 
semble during Saturday, June 30, and Sunday, July 1. The main body

the Blue and the Gray will fraternize at the festive board, expressing their feelings of mutual 
esteem and pledging each other's united efforts for the country's advancement under the old 
flag in the future. Any one desiring to participate in the banquet can obtain tickets at the 
Springs Hotel at $5 each ; spectators' tickets, $1 each. 

Wednesday, July 4 — Independence Day.— A general jubilee will take place on the Battle- 
field, in the town, and at every hotel and home in Gettysburg. 



VI. 



WHAT THE ARMY OF NORTHERN VIRGINIA WILL DO. 



The various detachments of Confederate Veterans will be welcomed at 
the depots during the day on Monday, July 2, and escorted to the quarters 
selected for or by them, by details from the Union veterans who have volun- 
teered for that agreeable service. 

In the evening, when General Tallafiero shall have notified General 
Sickles that the main body of his party are in town, the "Assembly" will be 
sounded, and under leadership of the Headquarter Band all will march to 
the point selected for the formal Ke-Union of the Blue and the Gray. 

The Court House will be placed at the disposal of the society for any 
meetings they may choose to hold. All business matters connected with the 
Re-Union or their personal movements will be discussed at the meetings 
they expect to hold every morning in that hall at 7:30 o'clock. Committee 
meetings will be held in the special hotel car reserved for the leading officers 
of the Confederate Army, which will be stationed on the special side track 
recently erected. 

The full affiliation and fraternization will take place all along the lines of 
the battlefield on the Anniversary of Independence day. No special festivi- 
ties have been arranged for by the contingent in Grav. 



As an evidence of the general desire of the Boys in Gray to participate 
we publish one letter of many received by the Committee of Arrangements :

TJnion. 2 — During the Re-Union. 3 — After the Re-U^ion. 

That some idea of the number of Monuments erected, or to be erected, 
on the Battlefield may be given those interested, the following statement has 
been compiled from official sources ; and will show the number of organiza- 
tions from each State engaged on the Union side at Gettysburg ; the amount 
appropriated by the State to each organization to mark its position on the 
field ; the amount appropriated by the State to the Gettysburg Battlefield 
Memorial Association, for purchase of lands, &c, and the total amount ap- 
propriated by each State, including, in some instances, special appropria-

sylvania, 65th New York and 122d New York. Should General Cochrane not recover his

the lines at Cemetery Hill, Peach Orchard, Devil's Den, the Round Tops, Culp's Hill and

sylvania Volunteei*s, Philadelphia, Pa.

The State of Wisconsin will dedicate on o uue 30 seven Monuments to the memory of 
the dead from that State who participated with their several commands in the engagement. 
Each regiment will have its own appropriate exercises, and then the general exercises on be- 
half of the State will be held in the grove where General Reynolds fell on July 1, 1SC3. The 
Society of the First Corps has tendered the State the use of the rostrum it has erected for 
exercises on the following Sunday, and the offer has been accepted. The platform, built by 
Peter Culp, a scout employed by General Reynolds on the morning of the first day's fight, is 
thirty two feet square. State Senator L. E. Pond was the prime mover in obtaining the ap- 
propriations which enable the State to place her seven stately and unique Memorials iu 
granite and marble. The Senator was Ciptain of Company E of the 7th Regiment at Get- 
tysburg, and fell shot in the breast early in the engagement — so early, in fact, that it is said 
he was the first man wounded in the battle. The company faltered for a moment. He crie.l 
out: " Press on, boys; never mind me," and they pressed on. He was subsequently wounded 
twice at Petersburg, and was compelled to withdraw from the service Decoinbor 30, 1S04. 
Captain Pond was appointed President of the Wisconsin Gettysburg Monumental Associa- . 
tion, and to his efforts the prompt execution of the will of the Legislature is due. The Wis- 
consin delegation will reach Gettysburg early on the morning of the day of dedication. Tha 
programme for the general gathering is arranged as follows : The procession will wend it< 
way from the town, and at ten o'clock, under the direction of L. E. Pond, President of tb 1 
State Commission, and Chairman of the Committee on Excursion, and H. B. Harshavv, 



Secretary, will gather around the First Corps platform in Reynold's Grove. Comrade and 
Captain Levi E Pond Avill then transfer the Monuments to the Governor of "Wisconsin, Gen- 
eral Jeremiah M. Rusk, who will formally accept them in the name of the State. The 
Oration, by United States Senator Johu C. Spooner will follow. At its conclusion the 
Memorial Stones will be presented to and accepted by the Battlefield Memorial Association.

lorsville, Gettysburg, Mission Ridge, Knoxville, Atlanta, Resaca, Dallas, Pine Knob, Lost Moun- 
tain, Pine Tree Creek, Savannah and Goldsboro. The following history of the colors of this 
regiment is furnished by a comrade : The colors of the 134th were presented at New York 
Citv by Governor Horatio Seymour, in behalf of the State of New York, and were carried 
by the regiment through all its skirmishes, battles and marches. At Gettysburg they were car- 
ried by Sergeants Carroll and Seaman. Sergeant Seaman received a severe wound from a min- 
nie ball in the right arm, and was unable to bring the regimental colors from the field. At this 
critical moment Carroll seized both colors, and started for the Cemetery Heights, where the Corps 
had retired and were taking position, but had not proceeded far before he received three 
severe wounds, which laid him prostrate. The Confederates were close behind and bent upon 
obtaining the colors, but they were foiled. A gallant officer seized the National colors and 
bore them off, and Sergeant Carroll tore the State color from its staff, and wound it round 
his body underneath his clothing , where he kept it for four days, during which time he was a 
prisonor, and at the expiration of which he returned them to the regiment. For this act of 
gallantry Sergeant Carroll received the thanks of the commanding General, and also the 
thanks of the entire regiment. Both Color Sergeants being now disabled, new ones were ap- 
pointed in the persons of Sergeants Bradt and Rosa. The last named was killed at the Battle 
of Peach Tree Creek, Ga. , and his place filled by Sergeant Mickle. At the Siege of Savannah, 
Ga. , Sergeant Bradt was severely wounded, and Sergeant Dey was appointed to the vacancy. 
By these Sergeants they were carried through the campaign of the Carolinas and in the grand 
review at Washington, at which latter place they were cheered along the whola line of march. 
They were brought to Albany and deposited in the Hall of Military Records, where they 
remain as lasting mementos of the bravery and patriotism of the sons of Schenectady and 
Schoharie. 

147th New York Infantry proposes to dedicate its Monument at the Railroad Cut, on

Hammond, here supported Battery E. 4th U. S. Horse Artillery, Lieutenant S. S. Elder 
losing six men. This regiment, June 30, 18C3,met and repulsed a portion of Leo's Cavalry' 
under the personal command of General J. E. B. Stuarts, in the streets of Hanover, Pa. 
(the first battle on free soil), in a hand to hand fight, capturing Lieutenant Colonel Paine 
and seventy-five men, with a loss of twenty-six officers and men killed and wounded July 
2, 1SP>3, this regiment attacked General Stuarts' Cavalry at Hunterstown, Pa., and at night 
moved to Round Top, where we opened on General Longstreet's right." 














140th New York Infantry was organized in Rome under the direction of the Senatorial 
Committee of the Nineteenth District. It was mustered into service October 10, 1802. 
Originally known as the " 5th Oneida," afterward as the " Halleck Infantry," its familiar 
title was " Garrard Tigers," by which the officers and men were wont to speak of themselves, 
as a compliment to the stern discipline and soldierly enthusiasm of Colonel Ivenner Garrard, 
a graduate of West Point, who had accepted the command of the 146th. at the suggestion of 



General Halleck. The regiment was assigned to the Third Brigade of General Sykes' Divi- 
sion of the Fifth Corps, then ntider the commnnd of General Meade. During the battle of 
Gettysburg tho 146th was in the brigade commanded by Brigadier -General Weed; and in a 
charge supported the Third Corps, which had met with a temporary reverse. Here also it 
was that the 140th, with the 140th New York and 91st and 155th Pennsylvania Regiments, at 
a severe loss of officers and men, charged up and obtained possession of the " Little Round 
Top," the key to the position, and held it during the entire engagement. Among the killed 
were Brigadier-General Weed, who commanded the brigade ; Colonel Patrick O'Rourke of 
tho 140th; and Captain Hazlett, commanding the famous " Battery D," 5th United States 
Artillery, which the 140th supported. In consequence of the death of General Weed and 
Colonel O'Rourke the command devolved upon Colonel Garrard, and for his gallant con- 
duct on that occasion he was commissioned Brigadier-General. Colonel David F. Jenkins 
then look command of the regiment. In 1S63 the 146th adopted the Zouave uniform, which 
rendered it as beautiful on parade as it was gallant in action. It numbered in all from first 
to last 1,508 men, receiving additions from the old 5th New York Duryea Zouaves, the 
Seventeenth New York D'Espeneuil Zouaves and the 44th New York " Ellsworth 
Avengers," receiving at each lime a body of splendid soldiers. The regiment was thrice 
complimented in general orders for distinguished gallantry ; first at Laurel Hill, Va., when 
as two lines of battle in front broke, it stood firm and repelled the attack, losing severely ; 
second, at Cold Harbor, when Mahone's Division burst on its lines, the Brigade to which the 
146th belonged checked their career, thus saving the position; third, at Hatcher's Run, 
where it held its ground at great odds until its ammunition was entirely gone, when it was 
withdrawn a short distance, its cartridge boxes replenished, and the line again advanced. 
Its battle record includes twenty-three engagements, among them Fredericksburg, Chancel- 
lorsville, Gettysburg, Rappahannock Station, Mine Run, Wilderness, Spottsylvania, Tolo- 
potomy, Petersburg, North Anna, Chapel House, Bethesda Church, Weldon Road and 
Hatcher's Run. The regiment will dedicate its Monument on July 3 on the Little Round 
Top. Brief addresses only will be made at the dedication. The Monument will be of sar- 
cophagus pattern, and one of its inscriptions will be " From this point General Meade 
directed the battle of July 3." 

Major-General W. S. Hancock was wounded during Pickett's charge on July 3, 1863. 
On the-twenty-fifth anniversary of that incident and during the afternoon a stone appro- 
priately marked and which has been placed on the position will be visited by the admirers of 
the gallant commander of the Fighting Second Corps. No services are contemplated. 

67th New York Infantry (1st Long Island Volunteers), also called the " Brooklyn Pha- 
lanx" and " Beecner's Regiment," participated in twenty-three battles of the Army of the 
Potomac from Fair Oaks in 1862 to Appomattox in 1865. It was mustered into service in 
June, 1861, and there are now about 147 survivors of the regiment, all of whom it is pro- 
posed to take to Gettysburg to be present at the dedication of the Monument on July 3. The

unanimously rescinded at a special meeting held February 14, 1888, in order to allow the sur- 
viving Veterans to meet the survivors of the Confederate Army on the twenty-fifth anni- 
versary of the Battle. It will also be the first Re-Union of the regiment, and the ' ' Roll Call

fications and doing picket duty on the Eastern shore of Maryland, and its first engagement 
near Stafford Court House, Va., in April, 1862. It was the first regiment to enter Yorktown, 
and under Little Mac took part in the battles of Williamsburg, Seven Pines, Fair Oaks, Oak 
Grove, Savage Station, Glendale and Malvern Hill. Under General Pope it fought at Bris- 
tow Station, Second Bull Run and Chantilly, met Burnside at Fredericksburg, and Hooker

ments arrived after the Confederate attack on General Graham's forces. Its record is, in 
fact, from that great day, that of the Army of the Potomac, and is a bright one. It was 
mustered into the service as United States Volunteers and left for the seat of war as an in- 
dependent organization, not being recognized by the State of New York. It formed part of 
General Sickles' Brigade, and when the State finally concluded to accept the Brigade, on No- 



vember 27, 1861, the officers received their commissions, and the regiment was thereafter 
known as the 73d New York Volunteers. The command left New York 800 strong, received 
during its term of service 500 recruits and the 103d New York Regiment, which was consoli- 
dated with it in January, 1863. It was mustered out at Hart's Island, N. Y. , June 29, 1365,

Ill.—AFTER THE RE-UNION. 

5th New York Infantry (Duryee's Zouaves), will dedicate a bronze Statue to Major-Gen 
eral Gouverneur K. Warren, their old commander, on the Little Round Top, near the spot oc- 
cupied by the Signal Corps during the battle. The party, which will be very numerous, will 
leave New York on the morning of August 8 next, and in the afternoon the monument will 
be dedicated. The Rev. C. F. Hull of New Jersey, formerly a private in Company A of the 
Zouaves has been selected as the Orator for the occasion. 

94th New York Infantry, the last regiment of the Army of the Potomac that was mus- 
tered out of service, was mustered in at Sackett's Harbor, March 1862. Its battle record is : 
Cedar Mountain, Bull Run (1862), Chantilly, Chancellors ville, South Mountain, Antietam, 
Gainesville, Fredericksburg, Gettysburg, Mine Run, Tolopotomy, Bethesda Church, Peters- 
burg and Weldon Road. The survivors of the regiment will visit Gettysburg on August 8, 
and dedicate their Monument. 

88th Pennsylvania Infantry will dedicate their monument on August 9, the 27th anni- 
versary of the acceptance of the regiment by the War Department in 1S61. The stone will 
mark the spot from which the 88th charged on Iverson's Brigade on July 1, 18(53, and cap- 
tured almost all of the 23d North Carolina. The Committee on Monument are : General 
Louis Wagner, General G. W. Gile, General R. B. Beath, Captain S. G. Boone and J. D. 
Vautier. 

4th New York Cavalry was raised in New York City, and was mustered in August 29, 
1861. The regiment was never absent a day from the scene of active operations. At the 
second Battle of Bull Run, co-operating with the 1st Michigan, it made the only cavalry charge 
of the battle. It was engaged in every battle and skirmish in which the Cavalry Corps of the 
Army took part. The regiment participated in the following battles and skirmishes : Anan- 
dale, Rappahannock Station, Franklin, Strousburg, Harrisonburg, Cross Keys, Port Republic, 
Slaughter Mountain, Rapidan River, White Sulphur Springs, Manassas (Bull Run), Berry- 
ville, Kelly's Ford, Chancellorsville, Beverly Ford, Aldie, Middleburg, Upperville, Gettys- 
burg, Brandy Station, Morton's Ford, Bealton Station, Oak Hill (Brentsville), Robertson's 
Tavern, Mine Run, Barnett's Ford, Piney Grove Church, Trevillian's Station, Deep Bottom, 
White Post, Cedarville, Kearneysville, Shepherdstown and Smithfield. On September 16, 
1863, after chasing the enemy from Brandy Station across the Rapidan, and while a portion 
of the regiment was on picket duty at Racoon Ford, twenty-four of its men were captured, 
after being surrounded, and one officer and two men had been killed. For this disaster, aris- 
ing from carelessness, the regiment was prohibited by General Pleasonton, from carrying 
its regimental colors. A full statement of the circumstances sent to the Secretary of War, 
resulted in having the colors restored on the 6th of January, 1864, on the ground of meritori- 
ous service. At Front Royal the regiment (numbering at this time one hundred and fifty 
men) charged on a regiment of Wickham's Brigade, which was driving our skirmishers, cap- 
turing in the charge the veteran battle flag of the 3d Virginia Cavalry, besides many prisoners. 
In this charge Captain Mann, while gallantly leading his squadron, was killed, having been 
shot through the heart. This entire affair was characterized by the Division General as 
" Superb." 

44th New York Infantry, with whom it is probable the 12th New York Infantry will 
unite, have prepared the design here shown for their Monument, at the position held by 
them on Little Round Top. The design will probably include a memorial of Colonel Rice, 



who succeeded to the command of the Brigade by the death of General Strong Vincent, who 
as Colonel of the 83d Pennsylvania, received his death wound at Little Round Top in the sec- 
ond day s fight. The old commander of the Brigade, General Daniel Butterfield, then Chief 
of Staff of the Army of the Potomac, received from Washington Vincent's promotion before 
his death. The design ot the Monument is the work of Mr. Charles Zeilman of Albany, a 




member of the regiment, and for years stamp clerk in the Albany Post-office. The 41th Regi- 
ment was organized in 1S61 as an answer from New York to the assassination of Colonel Ells- 
worth in Alexandria. The original plan provided for one man from each ward and town in 
the State, the qualifications being that he should have a good character, be unmarried, not 
more than thirty years old, and should pay $20 for the purchase of a Zouave uniform, and 



started from Albany for the seat of war on October 1, l^iU, numbering 1,061 men, undei* 
command of Colonel S. W. Stryker. At "Washington they were armed with Springfield rifles 
and sent to General Butterfield's Brigade, in the Fifth Corps. This regiment and the 83d 
Pennsylvania were know during their service as " Butterfield's Twins" and "Butterfield's 
Pets."* They particiated with the Army of the Potomac in the advance on Centreville, Seige 
of Yorktown, Battle of Hanover Court House, G-aine's Mill, Malvern Hill, second Bui Run, 
Antietam, Shepperdstown Ford, Fredericksburg, Chancellors ville, Aldie, Gettysburg, Jones' 
Crossing, Williamsport, Rappahannock Station, Mine Run, Wilderness, Spottsylvania Court 
House, North Anna, Bethseda Church, Petersburg and Weldon Railroad. The organization 
left the field September 34, 1S64, and was mustered out October 11, 1*114. 

IOSth New York Infantry expects to dedicate its Monument late in August or during 
the first week in September. This regiment was mustered in at Rochester, Monroe County, 
in August, 1861. Its record is Antietam, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, 
Brandy Station, "Wilderness, Spottsylvania, North Anna, Tolopotomy, Cold Harbor, Peters- 
burg, Strawberry Plains, Deep Bottom, Reams', and Boydton Road. 

123d New York Infantry expects to dedicate its Monument on the afternoon of Tuesday, 
September 4, 18S8. The Chan-man of the Committee on Monument is Seth C. Cary of Maple- 
wood, Mass., the Adjutant of the regiment. The 123d was mustered at Salem, Washington 
County, in September, 18G2, and was engaged at Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, Resaca, Cass- 
ville, Dallas, Pine Mountain, Lost Mountain, Culp's Farm, Chatahoochie River, Pine Tree 
Creek, Atlanta, Monteith Swamp, Savannah, Columbia, Averysboro and Raleigh. 

1st New York Light Battery (Reynolds) , will dedicate a Monument during the first 
week in September, it having been impossible to finish the structure in time for the Silver 
Re-union. About forty or fifty persons will accompany the few survivors to the Battlefield. 
The first commander of this battery was Captain John A. Reynolds who rose to the rank of 
Colonel ; his successor, Captain Gdbert H. Reynolds was wounded in the side, and lost an eye 
at Gettysburg. Captain G. H. Reynolds was also taken prisoner ; he resigned in 1S64. Cap- 
tain George Breck, who then took command of the battery, brought it home from the war, 
and was mustered out as Brevet-Major. The battle record of this command is the record of 
the Army of the Potomac. 

107th New York Regiment Association will dedicate their Monument near Spangler's 
Spring, and hold their Twenty-second annual Re-Union on Sept. 17, 1888, and the participants 
will probably number upwards of 200 persons. The programme is not fully complete, but among 
the speakers of the occasion will be Colonel N. M. Crane of the 107th and General Henry W 
Slocuin of Brooklyn. Lieutenant- Colonel "William F. Fox will read the poem. The Associa- 
tion was organized December 20, 1807, and have held a Re- Union each year since, the able Sec- 
retary, A. G. Fitch, holding that position year after year from the date of his election, De- 
cember 20. 1S72. The officers of the Association besides him are : General N. M. Crane, Presi- 
dent ; Captain John M. Losie, Lieutenant E. "Weller, Sergeant F. Pooley, Vice-Presidents ; 
Rev. B. P. Tracy, Chaplain; Major C. P. Fox, Corresponding Secretary ; Private Theodore 
G. Smith, Treasurer. The Monnment and Excursion Committee are, in addition to the offl. 
cers named : Lieutenant John Clawson, Major E. P. Graves, Lieutenant Paul Collson, Q. M. 
Sergeant Bray D. Hall, Sergeant Gilbert Wright, Private Theodore G. Smith. The battle 
record of the regiment, which was mustered in at Elmira in August, 1862, is Antietam, Chan^ 
cellorsville, Gettysburg, Resaca, New Hope Church, Culps' Farm, Peach Tree Creek, Kene- 
saw Mountain and Averysboro. 

The State of Michigan has contracted for nine Monuments, all of which will be dedicated 
on September 20 next in presence of a large audience of officials, veterans and citizens of 
that State. The commands are Michigan Cavalry Brigade, 1st, 3d, 4th, 5th, 7th, 16th, 24th 
Infantry and 9th Battery. The Michigan Board of Commissioners of Gettysburg Battlefield 
Monuments are : Colonel George G. Briggs, Grand Rapids, Chairman ; Lieutenant Peter Len- 
non, Lennon ; and Lieutenant George W. Crawford, Big Rapids.

burg, Shephardstown, Sulphur Springs, Auburn, Mine Run, Todd's Tavern, Richmond, 
Hawes' Shop, Cold Harbor, Trevillian Station, South Mountain, Chancellorsville, Malvern 
Riil. Chai lea City Road, Ream's, Vaughan Road, Boydton Road and Bellyfield. This Monu- 
ment is to be located on Brinkerhoff Ridge, near the Hanover Road, about two miles east of 







j fit \;\if+. _ 



Gettysburg, the position held by the regiment on the afternoon of July 2. The design of the 
Monument was suggested by Lieutenant H. E. Hayes, and has some appropriate and distinc- 
tive features. The dedication ceremonies will take place on the 20th and 2?th of September, 
and will be of an interesting character. The 10th New York Cavalry was quartered in Get- 
tysburg during January and February, 1802, while waiting for their equipments, and was the 
only regiment stationed there before the great battle. Tho first Union soldier buried in the 
Gettysburg Cemetery was Private John Congdon of this regiment. 



Maryland Monuments. Maryland had three regiments of infantry, one of cavalry and 
one battery of artillery engaged at Gettysburg. The record of the Maryland troops at Get- 
tysburg will compare favorably with those of any State represented at that, the decisive 
battle of the late war It is a notable fact that wherever Maryland troops fought, whether 
in the Blue or Gray, their action was' characterized by bravery and gallantry. In the last 
struggle for the Little Round Top, on the evening of the 2d of July, it was " Lockwood's 
Maryland Brigade" that bore the brunt of the gallant assault of the Confederates, and who, 
in the language of General Meade's report, with the aid of other troops present. " succeeded 
in checking and finally repulsing the assault of the enemy, who retired in confusion and dis- 
order and ceased any further efforts." It was Colonel Maulsby's Maryland Regiment which 
held the most advanced position of the Army of the Potomac on the night of July 2. It was the 
3d Mary land Regiment who opened the fight on the extreme right on the morning of July 3. 
And, later in the same day, the 1st Maryland P. H. B. checked the Confederate attack on 
Culp's Hill and practically ended their serious efforts in that direction. Rigby's Maryland 
Battery of three-inch rifles did their full share of service in each day's fight, and in repelling 
Pickett's supreme effort on the afternoon of the 3d no guns in that terrible line of nearly one 
hundred belching pieces of artillery of the Army of the Potomac did more effective service 
than those of Rigby. The 1st Maryland Cavalry received special mention for its services in the 
Cavalry fight on July 3. On March 3, 1888, the State Legislature appropriated $G,000 to erect 
a Monument to each of her commands who took part in the conflict. Under this act the fol- 
lowing Monument Commission was appointed : Colonel Theodore F. Lang, Chairman, Balti- 
more; Hon. William D. Burchinal, Chestertown ; Hon. Milton G. Urner, Frederick ; Hon. 
Charles D. Gaither, Baltimore ; Captain Frank Nolen, Secretary, Baltimore ; George R. Gra- 
ham, M. D., Corresponding Secretary, Baltimore. These gentlemen, with three survivors of 
each regiment and of the battery, will visit the field at noon on Thursday, June 14, and locate 
the sites to make the respective positions of the commands in the battle. Probably five hun- 
dred persons will visit the field on that day, and the Monuments erected on the positions 
chosen will be dedicated late in September or early in October. 

Vermont will erect five Monuments on the Battlefield, to be dedicated in October next 
The most prominent of these, the State's Monument, will stand where the2d Vermont Brigade 
struck Pickett's right flank, and on this will be inscribed the record of the 5,500 Vermont 
troops on the field. The Monument is to be a copy of the famous Nelson Monument in Tra- 
falgar Square, London. The Monument proper will stand fifty feet high. The base, twenty 
feet square and nearly two feet high, is a massive block of granite, the die of Barre granite, 
and the fluted column, twenty-nine feet long, of Dummerston granite, with a carved cap. The 
Gettysburg Monument Commissioners from Vermont are : Governor E. J. Ormsbee, Bran 
don. Chairman; Colonel Albert Clarke, Rutland, Secretary; Colonel James H. Wallridge, 
North Bennington ; General Thomas O. Beaver, Woodstock ; Private Freuch F. Carrick, St. 
Johnsbury ; Captain Cornelius H. Forbes, Brandon; Captain Thomas B. Kennedy, St. 
Albans; Colonel G. Grenville Benedict, Burlington ; Captain Noble F. Dunshce, Biistol ; 
Colonel Redfield Proctor, Proctor; Colonel Wheelock G. Veazey, Rutland ; General William 
Wells, Burlington; Sergeant Cassius Peck, Brookfield; Colonel 1. R. Stoughton, Shelby Iron 
Works, Alabama; Corporal Curtis Abbot, 27 Tremont Row, Boston, Mass. ; General Edward 
H. Rinley, Mendon: Colonel Fred E. Smith, Montpelier, and Colonel F. Stewart Stranahan, 
St. Albans. 

42d New York Infantry (Tammany Regiment) will send a committee to Gettysburg on 
July 3 to select the position its Monument is to occupy. The Committeemen are : Eugene 
Sullivan, President; John McGuire, Vice-President; Frank Reynolds, Secretary; Thomas H 
Mallon, Treasurer, and Daniel O'Connell. Mustered into service in New York City in June, 
186'1, the 42 1 fought at Bull Run, Yorktown, West Point, Glendale, Malvern Hill, Antietam, 
Fredericksburg and Gettysburg.

Genei a 1 George Zinn, Adjutant Edmund Mather, Sergeant A. J. Hertzler, and Henry E. 
Bunb< r. 

80th New York Infantry, the 20th Regiment Neve York State Militia, will dedicate 
their Moument on the ridge south of Willoughby Run, about 300 feet east of the Hagers- 
t>wn Pike, during the latter part of September next, the arrangements being in charge of 
the following committee : General Theodore B. Gates, Colonel John McEntee and Surgeon 
Robert Loughran. The regiment was mustered into the United States service at Kingston' 
in Orfcober, 1861, and fought at Beverly Ford, "Warrenton Springs, Gainesville, Groveton,

MEADE AND HIS COMMANDERS 

A SERIES OF BRIEF BIOGRAPHIES. 



(WITH PORTE AITS.) 

Meade, George Gordon, Major-General, was born at Cadiz, Spain, 
December 31, 1815, bis father having been at that time United States Navy 
Agent at that port. He was graduated at West Point in 1835 and assigned 
to the Third Artillery, served in Florida and at AVatertown Arsenal, Mass. 
He resigned in October, 1839. He was engaged in a survey of the Missis- 
sippi Delta and the boundary between the United States and Texas and of 
the northeastern boundary of Maine. In May, 1842, he was appointed 
Lieutenant in the Corps of Topographical Engineers. In September, 1845, 
he joined the staff of General Zachary Taylor at Corpus Christi, Tex., took 
part, May 8 and 9, 184G, in the battles of Palo Alto and Resaca de la 
Palma, and later, under General Worth, led the assault on Independence 
Hill at Monterey, for which he was brevetted. He was then engaged in 
various surveys and in building lighthouses. In May, 1856, he became cap- 
tain, and served on the geodetic survey of the Northwestern lakes till 1861. 
He was appointed Brigadier-General of Volunteers August 31, 1861, and 
commanded the Second Brigade of Pennsylvania Reserves in the Army of 
the Potomac, engaged u. Mechanicsville, Gaines' Mills and New Market 
Cross Roads, where he was severely wounded, but soon rejoined his com- 
mand and took part in the second battle of Bull Run. At South Mountain 
he flanked the enemy from the right, showing such intrepidity that when 
General Hooker was wounded General McClellan on the field placed him in 
command of the First Corps. His division at Fredericksburg confronted 
the troops of Stonewall Jackson. It alone of all the Army drove all before 



it, broke through the Confederate lines, encountering their reserves, but 
for lack of timely support was finally forced to fall back. General Meade 
was promoted Major-General and given command of the Fifth Corps, lead- 
ing it at Chancellorsville, and on the first day was successfully pressing the 
Confederates on the left when he was recalled. He took command of the 
Army of the Potomac June 27, 1863, while it was on the march to check 
the invasion of Pennsylvania by General Lee. Continuing the movement 
on the 29th by two forced marches, he gained positions which would enable 
him to deploy his forces along the line between Westminster and Waynes- 
borough, and when Lee began to concentrate east of South Mountain, 
Meade occupied the slope along Pipe Creek, advancing his left wing to the 
neighborhood of Gettysburg, the force there and at Emmettsburg being in- 
tended to delay the march of the Confederates till the Union Army could 
be concentrated on the selected line fifteen miles in the rear. The great 
battle which ensued on the first three days of July is fully described in an- 
other part of this book. Meade was commissioned Brigadier-General in the 
regular army July 3, 1863. He continued in command of the Army of the 
Potomac for two years till General Grant had been made Commander of all 
the Armies of the United States and assumed direction of all the opera- 
tions in person. He was promoted Major-Gencral August 18, 1864, and 
after the war commanded successively the Departments of the East and of 
the South and the Military Division of the Atlantic, which latter position 
he held at the time of his death in Philadelphia, November 2, 1872, which 
resulted from pneumonia aggravated by complications incident to the gun- 
shot wound he had received at New Market Cross Roads. 

Ames, Adelbert, Major-General, born in Maine in 1835, graduated at 
West Point in 1861 and assigned to the Fifth Artillery. He was wounded 
at Bull Run, and was present at the siege of Yorktown and the battles of 
Gaines' Mills, Malvern Hill, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, Antietam and 
Gettysburg, besides many minor engagements in Virginia. He commanded 
a Brigade and at times a Division in the Army of the Potomac and in the 
operations before Petersburg in 1864. He w9s brevetted Major-General of

its advance upon the Mexican Capital, participated in the ohief battles of 



the campaign and was bre vetted First Lieutenant. From 1848 till 1859 he 
served with the regiment at various frontier posts in line and staff duty. 
From 1859 till 1861 Captain Hancock was Chief Quartermaster of the 
Southern District of California. At the beginning of the Civil War in 1861 
he asked to be transferred to more active service at the seat of the war. In 
a letter to a friend at this time he said : " My politics are of a practical 
kind — the integrity of the country, the supremacy of the Federal Govern- 
ment, an honorable peace or none at all." He was commissioned a Briga- 
dier-General of Volunteers September 23, 1861, and aided in organizing the 
Army of the Potomac. During the Peninsula Campaign under General 
McClellan he was especially conspicuous at the battles of Williamsburg and 
Frazer's Farm. He took an active part in the subsequent campaign in 
Maryland, at the battles of South Mountain and Antietam, being assigned 
to command the First Division of the Second Army Corps on the battle- 
field at Antietam September 17, 1862. He was made a Major-General of 
Volunteers, November 29, 1862, and commanded a Division in the attempt 
to storm Marye's Heights at the Battle of Fredericksburg, December 13, 
1862. In this assault General Hancock led his men through such a fire as 
has rarely been encountered in warfare. He commanded 5,006 men, and 
left 2,013 of them on the field. In the three days' fight at Chancellorsville, 
in May, 1863, Hancock's Division took a prominent part. In the decisive 
action at Gettysburg of July 3 Hancock commanded the left centre, the 
main point assailed by the Confederates, and was shot from his horse. 
Though dangerously wounded he remained on the field till the enemy was 
repulsed, when he sent this message to General Meade : ' ' We have gained 
a great victory. The enemy is now flying in all directions in my front." 
Out of fewer than 10,000 men, the Second Army Corps lost at Gettysburg 
about 4,000 killed or wounded. It captured 4,500 prisoners and about 
thirty colors. On April 21, 1866, Congress passed a resolution thanking 
General Hancock for his services in the Campaign of 1863. Disabled by his 
wound, he was not again employed on active duties till the spring of 1864, 
when he resumed command of the Second Army Corps, and bore a promi- 
nent part in the battles of the Wilderness and Spottsylvania, where the 
fighting was almost continuous from the 5th to the 26th of May. In the 
engagement at Spottsylvania Court House General Hancock, on the night of 
the 11th, moved to a position within 1,200 yards of General Lee's right cen- 
tre, where he formed a sharp salient since known as " The Bloody Angle," 
and early on the morning of the 12th he gave the order to advance. His 
heavy column overran the Confederate pickets without firing a shot, burst 
through the abatis, and after a short hand-to-hand conflict inside the en- 
trenchments captured nearly 4,000 prisoners, twenty pieces of artillery, with 
horses, caissons and material complete, several thousand stand of small 



arms and upward of thirty colors. The fighting at this point was as fierce 
as any during the war, the battle raging furiously and incessantly along the 
whole line throughout the day and late into the night. General Lee made 
five separate assaults to retake the works, but without success. In the sub- 
sequent operations of the army, at the crossing of the North Anna, the 
second Battle of Cold Harbor and the assault on the lines in front of Peters- 
burg, General Hancock was active and indefatigable. He was appointed 
a Brigadier-General in the Eegular Army, August 12, 1864, "for gallant 
and distinguished services in the battles of the Wilderness, Spottsylvania 
and Cold Harbor, and in all operations of the Army in Virginia under Lieu- 
tenant-General Grant." On August 21 the Second Corps was brought to 
Petersburg by a long night march, and on the 25th occurred the only 
notable disaster in Hancock's career. While he was entrenched at Eeam's 
Station his lines were carried by the enemy- and many of his men captured. 
In this hour of defeat the intrepid commander, covered with dust, begrimed 
with powder and smoke, laying his hand upon a staff officer's shoulder, 
said : " Colonel, I do not care to die, but I pray to God I may never leave 
this field." In February, 1865, he was assigned to the command of the 
Middle Military Division and ordered to Winchester, Va., to relieve General 
Sheridan from the command of the Army of the Shenandoah. After the. 
assassination of President Lincoln General Hancock's headquarters 'were 
transferred to Washington, and he was placed in command of the defences 
of the Capital. On July 26, 1866, he was appointed a Major-General in the 
Regular Army. He subsequently commanded the Department of the Mis- 
souri, the Fifth District, comprising Texas and Louisiana, the Department 
of Dakota and the Division of the Atlantic. General Hancock's name was 
favorably mentioned in 1868 and 1872 as a candidate for Presidential 
honors, and he was nominated by the Democratic party in the Cincinnati 
Convention, June 24, 1880, receiving on the first ballot 171 votes in a con- 
vention containing 738 members, and on the second ballot he had 320 votes, 
Senator Bayard of Delaware 153 1-2, the remainder of the votes scattering 
among twelve candidates. On the second ballot General Hancock received 
320 votes. Senator Thomas F. Bayard 111 and Speaker Samuel J. Randall 
of the House of Representatives 128 1-2. The third ballot gave General 
Hancock 705 votes, and the nomination was made unanimous. The election 
in November resulted in the following popular vote : James A. Garfield, 
Republican, 4,454,416 ; Winfield S. Hancock, Democrat, 4,444,952 ; James 
B. Weaver, Greenback, 30S,578 ; Neal Dow, Prohibition, 10,305. General 
Hancock continued in the discharge of official duty. His last notable ap- 
pearance in public was at General Grant's funeral, all the arrangements for 
which were carried out under his supervision. The esteem in which he 
was held as a citizen and a soldier was, perhaps, never greater than at the 



time of his death, which occurred at Governor's Island, New York Harbor, 
February 9, 1886.

ized, Hays was placed in command of the Second Brigade of Birney's Divi-

LEE AND HIS COMMANDERS. 

A SERIES OF FRIEF BIOGRAPHIES. 



(with portraits.) 

Lee, Bobert Edward, Major-General, born at Stratford on the Po- 
tomac, in Westmoreland County, Va., January 19, 1807. He was the son 
of the Eevolutionary general Henry Lee, known as " Light-Horse Harry," 
and was graduated from West Point in 1829, ranking second in a class of 
forty-six. At the beginning of the Mexican war he was Chief Engineer of 
the Army under General Wood, with the rank of Captain. He won several 
brevets and the special commendation of General Scott, who attributed the 
prompt capture of Vera Cruz to his skill. In 1852 he was assigned to the 
command of West Point, where he remained three years and effected great 
improvements. At the outbreak of the Rebellion, April 20, 1861, he re- 
signed his commission. On this occasion he wrote his sister: "We are 
now in a state of war which yields to nothing. The whole South is in a 
state of revolution, into which Virginia, after a long struggle, has been 
drawn, and though I recognize no necessity for this state of things, and 
would have forborne and pleaded to the end for redress of grievances, real 
or supposed, yet in my own person I had to meet the question whether I 
should take part against my native State. With all my devotion to the 
Union, and the feeling of loyalty and duty of an American citizen, I have 
not been able to make up my mind to raise my hand against my relatives, 
my children, my home. I have, therefore, resigned my commission in the 
Army, and, save in defence of my native State — with the sincere hope that 
my poor services may never be needed — I hope I may never be called upon 
to draw my sword." He was made Commander-in-Chief of the Virginia 
State forces, and a General under the Confederate Government. In the 



autumn of ISfil Lee was sent to South Carolina, where he planned the 
defensive coast lines that successfully resisted all efforts directed against 
them until the very end of the war. On March 13, 1862, he was assigned 
to duty " : under the direction of the President," and "charged with the 
conduct of military operation in the armies of the Confederacy, McClellan 
had reorganized the National Army, and transferring his base to Fort 
Monroe advanced upon Eichmond by way of the peninsula, and reached a 
line near the city with more than 100,000 men. Under the mistaken 
impression that Johnston's opposing force outnumbered his own, he 
waited for McDowell with 40,000 men from Fredericksburg to join him. 
To prevent this Lee ordered Jackson to threaten Washington City, which 
task he executed with such celerity and success as to cause serious appre- 
hension in the Federal Capital. McDowell was recalled, and McClellan 
established himself on the Chickahominy. Now, for the first time, General 
Lee had direct command of a great army confronting an enemy strongly 
posted, and his capacity as a strategist and commander was first demons- 
trated in that bloody and brilliant, but only in part successful, series of 
manceu vers and contests known as " the seven day's battle." He adopted 
that offensive defence which was always his favorite method. He attacked 
McClellan, and was, after very severe fighting, so far successful that 
McClellan transferred his base to James River. But Lee was convinced 
that he had had, and lost, an opportunity to compel the actual surrender of 
his enemy, though stronger than himself in numbers, and regarded 
McClellan's escape upon any terms as a partial failure of his plans, due to 
accidental miscarriages. General Lee's desire next was to transfer the scene 
of operations to a distance from the Confederate Capital by again threaten- 
ing Washington. After many minor engagements this movement ended in 
the second battle of Bull Run, where on August 30 the Confederates suc- 
ceeded in driving their enemy under General John Pope to Centreville. 
Lee turned the Federal position on September 1, and Pope retired toward 
Washington. The transfer of McClellan's force to Washington had been 
made imperative, and Lee's Army was again filled Avith confidence m itself 
and its leaders, who at once undertook to transfer the scence of operation 
to the enemy's territory. On September 5 the Confederate Army, 45,000 
strong, crossed the Potomac and took up a position near Frederick, Md., 
from which it might move at will against Washington or Baltimore, or in- 
vade Pennsylvania. In the execution of Lee's designs his lieutenants cap- 
tured Harper's Ferry after an obstinate resistance. This was followed by 
the desperate and bloody battle of Antietam, in which neither side gained a 
decided victory. Lee was able to save the remnant of his army by recross- 
ing the Potomac and subsequently falling back to Winchester. His inva- 
sion of Union territory had brought no valuable result except in the

improved morale of his troops, who from this time onward placed the most 
implicit 'confidence in their chief commander. On December 13 General 
Burnside attacked Lee at Fredericksburg, where the latter held a naturally 
strong position. The day's fighting cost the Federal Commander a loss of 
13,000 men, while the Confederate loss was but 5,000. Burnside withdrew 
on the 15th across the Eappahannock, and operations were suspended for 
the winter. General Joseph Hooker planned a spring campaign in 1863 to 
force Lee out of his intrenched position at Fredericksburg and overcome 
him in the field. This plan he executed with great vigor. With his main 
force he crossed above Fredericksburg, while Sedgwick threw a smaller 
corps across below. Lee, with 48,000 men, met Hooker at Chancellorsville 
with more than double his numbers. While Lee with 15,000 confronted 
Hooker's front he detached Jackson with the main body to strike his rear. 
The surprise was complete. In spite of a stubborn resistance Hooker was 
signally defeated. Sedgwick had succeeded in capturing the Confederate 
works at Fredericksburg, but after the disaster to his chief he was forced to 
abandon them, and the Union Army retired once more beyond the Rappa- 
hannock. Encouraged by the advantage gained over Hooker at Chancel- 
lorsville, and hoping to counteract the effect of important Union successes 
in Western fields, General Lee at once set about his second invasion of 
Northern territory. It ended ingloriously for him in the great Gettysburg 
fight with the Unionists under General Meade, July 1, 2 and 3, which is 
fully described in these pages, and which closed the campaign of 1863. In 
the spring of 1864 Lee, with less than 70,000 men, confronted Grant, 
whose force aggregated 120,000. Lee skilfully used his advantage of posi- 
tion, showed great strategic genius, and made all possible use of the alert- 
ness and gallantry of his generals and the bravery and loyalty of his men ; 
but the continuous pounding of Grant told with great effect upon Lee's 
constantly diminishing force. Grant steadily pushed his columns south of 
Richmond to cut off the Confederate Capital from its lines of communica- 
tion and supply, so as to insure in the end the evacuation of Virginia, 
while the Confederates should have no road open for retreat. There was 
good fighting all through the campaign on both sides, but the advantage 
uniformly showed to the credit of the Union commanders. Early in the 
spring of 1865 Grant opened the final campaign. Lee was forced to aban- 
don Richmond and the strong fortifications of Petersburg and make a 
desperate effort to form a junction with Johnston in North Carolina. 
Meanwhile the victorious column of Sherman had crossed Georgia, from 
Atlanta to Savannah, and was menacing Johnston from the south. Grant 
finally corraled Lee's force, and on April 9 Lee practically ended the war 
by surrender at Appomattox. After the termination of the great struggle 
General Lee retired from public life, but he was soon made President of 






Washington College, at Lexington, Va., now called Washington and Lee 
University. He devoted himself with great assiduity and success to the 
interests of education and of the institution over which he presided till his 
death at Lexington, Octoher 12, 1870. 

Anderson, Richard Henrt, Lieutenant-General, born in South Caro- 
lina in 1816, graduated at West Point in 1842, served in the Dragoons on 
the frontier and through the Mexican War, became Captain in 1855 and 
was an instructor at Carlisle Barracks. Resigning in March, 1861, he was 
commissioned Brigadier in the Confederate service, and in August, 1862, 
promoted to Major-General, commanding the 5th Corps of Bragg^s Army. 
He commanded a Division at Gettysburg, and was made Lieutenant- 
General in May, 1864. His unexpected night march, in default of finding 
a desirable place to encamp, placed Lee's van at Spottsylvania ahead of 
Grant, and prolonged a campaign that might have otherwise ended in a de- 
cisive fight. He took a prominent part in the defence of Petersburg and in 
the actions which closed the struggle. He retired to private life, and died 
June 26, 1879, at Beaufort, S. C. 

Armistead, Lewis Addison", Brigadier- General, born February 18, 
1817, at Newbern, N. C, son of General Walter K. Armistead, U. S. 
Army, was educated at West Point and appointed a Lieutenant of 6th In- 
fanty in 1839, served gallantly in Mexico, and received the brevet of Cap- 
tain for Contreras and Cherubses, and Major for Molino del Rey. At the 
opening of the Civil War he resigned with great reluctance and was made 
a Confederate Brigadier-General. He was wounded at Antietam. At 
Gettysburg he was one of the few in Pickett's Division who nearly reached 
the Federal lines in the desperate charge on the third day. He was 
mortally wounded, and died in captivity a few hours later. 

Barksdale, William, Brigadier-General, born in Rutherford County, 
Tenn., August 21, 1821, graduated at Nashville University, became a 
lawyer at Columbus, Miss., and the editor of the Democrat in that city. 
He served in a Mississippi volunteer regiment through the Mexican war. 
In 1853 he was elected to Congress, and at once became prominent as a pro- 
slavery Democrat. He left his Congressional seat after his State seceded, 
took command of the 13th Mississippi Confederate Volunteers, and was 
soon commissioned Brigadier-General. In the Gettysburg battle he com- 
manded the 3d Brigade of Early's Division, and was killed on the second 
day while leading his men to an assault on the Federal left. 

Chambliss, John Randolph, Jr., Brigadier-General, born at Hicks- 
ford, Va., January 23, 1833, was graduated at West Point in 1853, assigned 
to Mounted Rifles, served at the Cavalry School, Carlisle, Pa., resigned in 
1854, and became a Virginia planter. He joined the Confederate Army in 



1861, commanded the 13th Cavalry, was subsequently promoted to Brig- 
adier-General, and killed in action at Deep Bottom, near Eichmond, Va., 
while leading a brigade of Cavalry, August 16, 1864. 

Dearing, James, Brigadier-General, born in Campbell County, Va., 
April 25, 1840, was a cadet at West Point, resigned in 1861, became a 
Colonel of Confederate Artillery, and was promoted Brigadier-General for 
gallantry in the Battle of Plymouth. He took part in the chief actions 
between the Army of Northern Virginia and the Army of the Potomac. 
On the retreat of the Confederates from Petersburg to Appomattox, April 
5, 1865, he was fatally wounded by General Theodore Eead of the Federal 
Army. The two met at the head of their forces at High Bridge, on oppo- 
site sides of the Creek, where in a duel between them with pistols Eead 
was shot dead. Dearing died at Lynchburg, Va., a few days later. 

Doles, George Pierce, Major- General, born May 14, 1830, at Milledge- 
ville, Ga., where he was educated. When the war opened he was Captain 
of a Militia Company which volunteered. In May, 1862, he was made 
Colonel of the 4th Georgia Eegiment. He fought in most of the actions of 
the Army of Northern Virginia, and at the Battle of Gettysburg succeeded 
ho the Command of a Brigade, his commission being dated November 2, 

1862. During the overland campaigns he commanded a Division in EwelFs 
Corps, and was killed in the Battle of Cold Harbor, June 2, 1864. 

Early, Jubal Anderson, Major-General, born November 3, 1816, in 
Franklin County, Va., was graduated at West Point in 1837, appointed 
Lieutenant of Artillery and served in the Seminole War, resigned, and was 
a lawyer in Virginia, being several years Commonwealth Attorney. In the 
Mexican War he commanded a Virginia Eegiment. He entered the Con- 
federate service in 1861 as Colonel, commanded a Brigade at Bull Eun, and 
was severely wounded at Williamsburg, May 5, 1862. Made Brigadier- 
General in May, 1863, his command held the lines at Fredericksburg, while 
Lee fought the Battle of Chancellorsville. He commanded a Division at 
Gettysburg. In 1864 he gained the battle at Monocacy in July and threat- 
ened Washington, while a portion of his force captured and burned Cham- 
bersburg, Pa. He was defeated by Sheridan on the Opequan, September 
19, and at Fisher's Hill three days later. He gained a surprise, October 19, 
over the Federal force at Cedar Creek, but after the arrival of Sheridan he 
was forced to retire, losing most of his guns and wagons. In March, 1864, 
he was totally routed by Custer at Waynesboro', and was soon after relieved 
of command. Since the war he has resided in New Orleans and 
Lynchburg. 

Ewell, Eichard Stoddert, Lieutenant- General, born in Georgetown, 
D, C, February 8 ; 1817, was graduated at West Point in 1840, fought 



creditably in the Mexican War, became Captain of Dragoons in 1849, and 
resigned in 1861. He was commissioned Major-General in the Confederate 
Army, and fought at Bull Eun and Blackburn's Ford in July. In 1862 he 
lost a leg at Warrenton Turnpike, August 28 . When Jackson was fatally 
wounded at Chancellorsville, Ewell, at his request, was made Lieutenant- 
General and given command of the 2d Corps, and led it gallantly at Win- 
chester, Gettysburg and at the Wilderness on the Confederate left. He 
was captured by Sheridan at Sailor's Creek with his entire force, April 5, 
1865. He retired to private life at the close of the war, and died at Spring- 
field, Tenn., January 25, 1872. There are many anecdotes related of 
General Ewell, showing him, while a brave officer, to be the very oppo- 
site of Stonewall Jackson ; the latter finding in every incident of bat- 
tle, march or bivouac, a subject for devout and earnest prayer — Ewell 
looking upon the same matters as nothing but routine work often un- 
worthy of comment. 

Gordon, John Brown, Lieutenant- General, was born in Upson County, 
Ga., February 6, 1832, educated at the University of Georgia, studied law, 
and had begun its practice at the outbreak of the war. He entered the 
Confederate service as Captain of Infantry, and rose to the rank of Lieuten- 
ant-General, commanding one wing of General Lee's Army at Appomattox 
Court House. He was wounded in battle eight times during the war. 
The Democrats of Georgia supported him for Governor in 1868. In 1873, 
he was elected United States Senator and re-elected in 1879, but resigned in 
1880. In 1886 he was elected Governor of Georgia, which place he now 
holds. 

Garnett, Eichard Brooke, Brigadier-General, born in Virginia in 1819, 
graduated at West Point in 1841, was assigned to the Infantry, served in 
Florida and on the Texas frontier, became Captain May 9, 1855, was 
engaged in Kansas in 1856-7, and in the Utah Expedition of 1S58, and 
resigned May 17, 1861, to join the Confederate Army. He was engaged 
in many of the battles in Virginia, was afterwards attached to General Lee's 
Army with the rank of Brigadier-General, and fell in the Battle of Gettys- 
burg. 

Hampton, Wade, Lieutenant-General, born in Columbia, S. C, in 1818, 
was graduated at the University of South Carolina, and studied law. He 
served in the State Legislature as a Democrat, but was not popular, having 
delivered a strong speech against re-opening the slave trade. At the begin- 
ning of the Civil War he enlisted as a private in the Confederate service, 
but soon raised a force of infantry, cavalry and artillery known as Hamp- 
ton's Legion, which won distinction for good conduct in the Battle of Bull 
Run and in the Peninsular campaign. At Seven Pines they lost half their 



i 



number and Hampton was seriously wounded. He was soon made a Brig- 
adier-General of Cavalry, serving under General J. E. B. Stuart with 
brilliant success. Hampton's force bore a conspicuous part at Gettysburg, 
where he was three times wounded, and twenty-one out of twenty-five field 
officers and more than half of his men were killed or wounded. He became 
a Major- General, August 3, 1863. In 18G4 he checked Sheridan at Trevil- 
lian's Station, and in twenty-three days captured over 3,000 prisoners and 
valuable stores, with a loss of 719 men. In August he was made Lieu- 
tenant-General, commanding Lee's Cavalry. In September he struck the 
Union rear and captured 400 prisoners and 2,486 beeves, and soon after in 
another action he made 500 prisoners. In 1865 he commanded the Cavalry 
under General J. E. Johnston in the effort to check the advance of General 
Sherman northward from Savannah. After the war he accepted promptly 
the results of defeat and engaged in cotton planting. He was chosen Gov- 
ernor of South Carolina in 1876. In 1878 an accident deprived him of a 
leg, and while his life was still despaired of he was elected to the United 
States Senate, where he is still serving. 

Heth, He^ry, Major-General, was born in Virginia in 1825, graduated 
at West Point in 1847, entered the 6th Infantry, and became Captain in the 
10th Infantry March 3, 1885. He resigned from the Union Army in 1861 
and became a Confederate Brigadier-General, and in May, 1863, a Major- 
General, commanding a Division in General A. P. Hill's Corps. He was in 
the contest at Gettysburg and in the subsequent campaigns. Since he has 
been engaged in business in South Carolina. 

Hill, Ambrose Powell, Lieutenant-General, born in Culpeper County. 
Va., Nov. 9, 1825, graduated at West Point in 1847, and entering the 1st 
Artillery served in Mexico and in Florida, and became Captain of Artillery. 
In November, 1855, he was made an assistant on the coast survey. He re- 
signed in 1861, and in the first battle of Bull Run commanded a Virginia 
regiment, winning promotion, and for gallantry in the battle of Williams- 
burg in May, 1862, he was made a Major-General. In the seven days' 
battles around Richmond he opened the fight by driving McClellan's forces 
from Meadow Bridge, clearing a way for Longstreet and D. H. Hill to ad- 
vance. He was active in the succeeding campaign against General Pope 
and at the second battle of Bull Run, July 29 and 30, 1862. He received 
the surrender of the National troops at Harper's Ferry on September 17, 

1862, and making a forced march arrived at Antietam in time to enable 
General Lee to maintain his ground. He was engaged in the action at 
Fredericksburg, December 13, 1862, and at Chancellorsville, May 5 and 6, 

1863, his Corps participated in the flank movement that crushed Hooker's 
right. In the assault he was severely wounded. For gallantry in this 



battle he was promoted, May 20, 1863, to Lieutenant-General and given 
command of one of the three grand Corps into which the Army was di- 
vided. He led his Corps at Gettysburg, and in the affair at Bristow 
Station, October, 1803, while in command of two Brigades, was repelled 
with severe loss. On June 22, 1864, his Corps, with Longstreet's, repelled 
the attack on the AVeldon Railroad. On Sunday morning, April 2, 1865, 
in the struggle for the possession of the works in front of Petersburg, he 
was shot from his horse dead by stragglers from the National Army. 

Hood, Johx Bell, Major-General, was born at Owenville, Ky., June 1, 
1831, graduated at "West Point in 1853, served in the 2d Cavalry on the 
Indian frontier with Colonel Albert Sidney Johnson and Lieutenant-Colonel 
Robert E. Lee. In July, 1857, he was severely wounded by an Indian in 
a hand-to-hand fight. In 1858 he became 1st Lieutenant, and was Cavalry 
Instructor at West Point in 1859 and 1860. He resigned in 1861, and 
entering the Confederate Army as a Colonel was soon made Brigadier- 
General, commanding Texas troops. While leading his men at Gaine's 
Mills he was shot in the body, his Brigade lost more than half its number, 
and he was brevetted Major-General on the field. He served in both Mary- 
land campaigns and in the battles of Second Bull Run, Boonesborough, 
Fredericksburg and Antietam. At Gettysburg he was again severely 
wounded, disabling his arm. During the second day's fight at Chicka- 
mauga, seeing his men waver he rode to the front and demanded the colors. 
His Texans rallied, and in the charge at the head of the column he was 
shot down, losing his right leg. He succeeded General Joseph E. Johnston 
in command in 1864, and after stubborn fighting was outflanked by General 
William T. Sherman and compelled to evacuate Atlanta", enabling the 
Union leader to make the march through Georgia to the sea. Hood began 
a counter-movement into Tennessee and compelled the evacuation of 
Decatur, but was defeated by General Thomas at Franklin, November 30, 
and again, December 16, by the same commander at Nashville, after which, 
at his own request, he was retired. He engaged in trade in New Orleans, 
and died there August 30, 1879. 

Iverson, Alfred, Brigadier-General, born in Burke County, Ga., De- 
cember 3, 1798, was graduated at Princeton, N. J., in 1820, and became a 
lawyer at Columbus, Ga. After serving in the Legislature several terms, in 
both branches, he was seven years a Judge of the Superior Court. He was 
elected to the National House of Representatives in 1846 and to the Senate 
in 1855. On the passage by his State of the Ordinance of Secession, he 
withdrew January 28, 1861, having been an open advocate of disunion and 
a leader of the Secession movement, and having announced in the United 
States Senate that slavery must be recognized with the right to carry slaves 



into the common territories, and to be assured full Congressional protec- 
tion. He raised a Confederate Regiment, 'and in November, 1862, was 
commissioned Brigadier-General. He died at Macon, Ga., March 4, 1873. 

Johnson, Edward, Major- General, was born in Chesterfield Co., Va., 
April 16, 1816, graduated at West Point in 1838, and assigned to the 6th 
Infantry, was in the Mexican War, and brevetted Captain for gallantry at 
Molino del Key and Major for Chapultepec. At the end of t'he campain he

and four guns Stuart left Richmond June 13, 1862, and, reaching Hanover 
Court House, dispersed two squadrons of United States Cavalry at daybreak 
on the 15th ; crossed the Chickahominy at Jones' Bridge next morning and 
was safe at Richmond that night, having made the circuit of McClellan's 
position with the loss of but one man. During Pope's campaign in com- 
mand of the Union troops, Stuart surprised his headquarters at Catlett's 
Station August 25, 1862, captured Pope's personal baggage and correspond-

many prisoners, ten locomotives, and great quantities of military stores.

Cavalry Divisions and two Infantry Brigades. In the Cavalry fight which 
ensued 500 or 600 men were lost on each side. In the campaign of 1864 
Stuart threw his troops between Eichmond and Sheridan's threatening 
advance. He was attacked at Yellow Tavern. During the desperate fight 
Stuart was mortally wounded and died May 11, 1864, soon after reaching 
Richmond. 



HOW WELL THEY FOUGHT. 

"Say, Jim," he began, as they shook hands, "how do you stand on this 
Gettysburg dispute ?" 

" Well, I've favored Sickles all along." 

" So have I. Now, see here. Right here on this paper is Gettysburg." 

" Yes." 

"Along this road is where Hancock came up." 

" I see." 

" Howard came up this road." 

"He did." 

" Sedgwick and his Sixth Corps travelled along right here, and swung 
into action over there on the second day." 

" You just bet they did." 

" Let's see ? Sykes must have come up by this road." 

" Yes, I'm certain of it." 

" Now, then, Jim, where were you ?" 

" Well, our sutler wagon was away off here, say about twelve miles. 
Where were you ?" 

" I was with the wagon train off this way, aoout seven miles. Say, we've 
got this thing down to a dot, and we ought to write a letter to some news- 
paper." 

"'Zactly, Jim, and we can't do it too soon. It's left to us to straighten 
out this tangle, and we are the men to do it."

LOSSES OF THE ARMY OF NORTHERN VIRGINIA. 

This report is as perfect as it is possible to make it from all obtainable 
data. The disagreement in totals cannot be corrected, and the figures do 
not cover the real losses of the Confederate commands. The records of 
prisoners of war on -file in Washington bear the names of 12,227 Confederate 
prisoners captured at and around Gettysburg from July 1 to 5 inclusive.

DESCRIPTION OF THE GETTYSBURG BATTLEFIELD. 



(with map.) 

The Map of the Field of Gettysburg, which accompanies this number in 
the Souvenir Programme of the Re-union of the two armies who fought 
there twenty-five years ago, clearly points out the salient features of the 
ground, as well as the location of the Union Regiments during the battle, 
and the monuments which will be dedicated during this year. 

A verbal description is, however, necessary to point out the striking 
features of the ground, that the map may be more thoroughly understood. 
Colonel Bachelder thus describes it : The country is generally open, and the 
surface rolling, though deep forests, high hills and rocky ravines are not 
infrequent. The geological formation in this section of the country consists 
of a succession of undulations, commencing with the Blue Ridge, eight or 
ten miles away, and running generally parallel with it in a northerly and 
southerly direction. 

The next of importance east of the South Mountain, as affects the history 
of the battle, is Seminary Ridge, on which is situated the Lutheran Theo- 
logical Seminary in the western suburbs of the town. Previous to the 
battle this was called Oak Ridge, a local name unknown to the soldiers who 
fought there. * * * They naturally called it Seminary Ridge. This 
name, christened with fire and baptized in blood, will be retained. * * * 
As a defensive military position this ridge possesses great advantages. * * * 
The altitude of Seminary Ridge is not as great as Cemetery Hill and Ridge, 
* * * but its extended position, admitting of a converging fire upon any 
desired locality, more than balanced this defect. 

Cemetery Ridge, the next of importance towards the east, * * * 
seems to have been more capricious in its formation. This is marked by 



three distinct elevations, standing out in clear relief like bastions on a 
rampart. Round Top, its extreme southern terminus, is seven-eighths of a 
mile east from Seminary Ridge, and rises directly from the plains beyond, 
its wooded crest towering high above the surrounding country . From its 
northern face a bold shoulder protrudes, separated from the parent mount 
by a gentle depression, heavily wooded, * * * known as Little Round 
Top. * * * Returning from Little Round Top towards the larger hill 
is a rough stony ridge, * * * called " Vincent's Spur." Plumb Run, a 
small and unimportnant stream, flows along the western base of these hills 
and drains a marshy swale in front of Little Round Top. West of this is a 
stony, precipitous undulation called Houck's Ridge, along which the Third 
Corps line of battle ran. * * * The evidences are that by some mighty 
convulsion of nature this ridge was rent asunder at its intersection with 
the base of Round Top, thereby draining an extensive body of water in front 
of Little Round Top. The gorge thus produced is called the Devil's Den, 
and presents a scene of the wildest character. Huge syenitic boulders are 
crowded into this narrow ravine, through which struggles the waters of 
Plumb Run, while yawning chasms suggest to the visitor the haunts of the 
lurking sharpshooters who occupied them during the battle. 

From Little Round Top the ridge, depressed yet well defined, rises gradu- 
ally in its northern course to Cemetery Hill, where, obstructed by some 
unseen cause, it was hurled ruthlessly back to the east, and in convulsive 
throbs expended its force in the formation of Gulp's Hill ; thus leaving a 
broad extensive basin northward from the Cemetery Hill, in which, upon a 
gentle elevation, is situated the village of Gettysburg. * * * Culp's 
jjiU * * * j s irregular in shape, quite precipitous on its eastern face, 
and generally covered with a heavy open growth of hardy timber. Rock 
Creek separates it from Wolf's Hill. This, like the last, is wooded, but 
exceedingly rough, and formed the eastern boundary of the Infantry 
operations . 

A half mile northeast from Culp's Hill, on the opposite side of Rock Creek, 
and a half mile east from the town, another elevation commences, called Ben- 
ner's Hill. SThis hill continues several miles N". N. E. Its highest summit 
is called Hospital Hill, where a general hospital was located soon after the 
battle. Benner's Hill was occupied by Confederate Artillery. Turning 
back again to the south of the field we find an undulation (Houck's Ridge) 
v termediate between Cemetery and Seminary Ridges, yet parallel with 
either. It shoots off from Cemetery Hill, and, leading directly across the 
valley, intersects with Seminary Ridge at a distance of nearly three miles. 
The Emmettsburg Road is laid along this ridge. The historic Peach and 
Apple Orchards are here, and on it General Sickles formed his line of battle 
on the second day. The foregoing constitute the grand topographical 



features of the battlefield. These are again subdivided into minor irregu- 
larities, each bearing upon the general result of the battle ; but it will be 
impossible to describe them in a book of this size.

LOCATION OF MONUMENTS TO BE DEDICATED IN 1888. 

Upon the Map facing the next page will be found plainly marked the location of each 
Monument that will be dedicated during the Summer and Fall of the present year. If any 
are omitted it is because they have failed to report or a change in the intended arrange- 
ments has been made since June 1. A large number will be found marked for Pennsyl- 
vania; this arises from the fact that changes have been made where monumuents have been 
already set up — some have been enlarged or new stones substituted. 

The programme of exercises at many of the Memorials will be found elsewhere in this book, 
with pictures of the Memorials. The figures following the name of each organization is the 
number of the location as marked on the Map. Number 1 is on the extreme left of the Union 
Line, in front of Round Top, and at the bottom of the Map, and the numbers run i^ rotation 
around to the right of the line on or near the Baltimore Pike. The second series or figures, 
relating to the first day's fight, commences on the left of the line on Battle Avenue near the 
Fairfield Road,

PROCEEDINGS OF THE LAST MEETING OF THE SOCIETY OF THE 
ARMY OF THE POTOMAC. 



The eighteenth annual meeting of the Society of the Army of the Potomac 
took place at Saratoga Springs, New York, June 22d and 23d, 1887. 

At the Re-union in San Francisco, August, 1886, the Society of the Army 
of the Potomac fixed upon Saratoga Springs as its next place of meeting. 
The members of the old army were a long distance from their base, and the 
usual invitation was not presented, but the members felt that the proverbial 
hospitality of Saratoga Springs was a sufficient guarantee of a cordial recep- 
tion, and they were not disappointed. 

As soon as notice was sent, a Local Executive Committee was appointed, 
as follows : General W. B. French, President ; Col. H. S. Clement, Col. D.

Through the courtesy of the Legislature of the State and Governor Hill, 
its Executive, an appropriation of 17,500 was made to send two veteran 
regiments to Saratoga. The regiments selected by General Porter, the Ad- 
jutant-General, were the Sixty-ninth and the Fourteenth. The other vet- 
eran regiment, the Ninth, still in existence, was debarred from going be- 
cause of its order to attend the State camp. 

The headquarters of the Society and of the several corps were established 
at Congress Hall, under the management of Col. H. S. Clement, himself 
a member of the society, and a most genial and generous host. 

The stillness of the evening of the 21st was broken by the sounds of mar- 
tial music. The Sixty-ninth Regiment, with Colonel Jas. Cavanagh in com- 
mand, came down the street in soldierly style, and were followed by the 
famous Brooklyn Fourteenth, under the command of Colonel Harry 
Michell. 

The detachment was under the command of Brig. -Gen. James McLeer, 
2d Brigade, N. G. S. N. Y., who was accompanied by the following staff ; 



Col. John B. Frothingham, Adjutant-General; Majors G. A. Jahn, A. F. 
Jenks, G. E. Fowler, G. Kindle, Jr., and Captains Fritz Broze and F. D. 
Beard. 

Governor Hill, who arrived early in the day, was accompanied by Adju- 
tant-General Josiah Porter, Generals George S. Field, J. D. Bryant, J. M. 
Varian, Jr., Charles F. Bobbins, Col. Hilton and other members of his 
staff. They were handsomely entertained by ex-Judge Henry Hilton. 

Generals W. T. Sherman, Henry W. Slocum, Calvin E. Pratt, Daniel E. 
Sickles, J. C. Robinson, J. C. Black, C. K. Graham, Daniel Butterfield, 
Lucius Fairchild, F. E. Pinto, F. T. Locke, J. B. Carr, G. H. Sharpe and 
N. Curtis, Colonels R. F. O'Beirne, Charles L. McArthur, and F. D. Grant, 
with a goodly company of veterans, were also on hand. 

In the early morning of the 22d, the Seventh Regiment Uniformed Vet- 
erans, under command of General Henry E. Tremaine, some one hundred 
and fifty in number, arrived by train, and escorted the President, General 
M. T. McMahon, to Congress Hall, where, after giving him a marching 
salute, they were happily quartered. 

The village was profusely and brilliantly decorated. Hotels and build- 
ings, public and private, vied with each other in the ingenuity and beauty 
of their display. Congress Hall was a mass of shields and war and peace 
emblems, while the Grand Union, the Windsor, the United States, the 
Kensington, and other public houses were smothered under the wealth of 
decorative art. A grand triumphal arch, nearly opposite the office of the 
Saratogian, spanned the wide main street, and contained the portraits of 
Lincoln, Grant and other great celebrities, and the names of many of the 
heroes of the war, dead and living. Along the proposed line of march 
and stretching across the streets were a great number of banners containing 
the names of famous battlefields and distinguished officers. Nearly every 
dwelling bore testimonials to the memory of the men who wore the blue. 

The meetings of the several corps societies were held at the Town Hall 
and Odd Fellows' Hall. 

BUSINESS MEETING. 

The business meeting of the Society of the Army of the Potomac was held 
at the Casino. There were about 1,000 persons present, including a row of 
ladies who occupied seats in front of the platform. General McMahon, 
President, presided, and on the platform, in addition to those previously 
named, were Generals Henry A. Barnum, Horatio C. King, Farnsworth, 
Fairchild, Burbridge and French, ex-L T nited States Senator Warner Miller, 
State Senator Colonel Murphy, General Greely of the Signal Corps and 
Colonel D. F. RiLchie. 

The President called the meeting to order at 2:30 p, m. 



The Recording Secretary presented the last annual report as the minutes 
of the Society. On his motion the reading of the minutes was dispensed 
with, and the report was accepted and adopted. 

The Treasurer then presented his annual report, which, on motion, was 
received and referred to an auditing committee. 

General Locke, as chairman of the committee appointed at the last meet- 
ing, to prepare a suitable button or bow knot to be worn by members of 
the Society, presented the bow knot now in use, which, on motion, was 
adopted. 

The next business being the selection of a place for the next meeting, 
communications were presented from the Mayor and New England Society 
of Orange, N. J., inviting the Society to hold its next annual re-union in 
that city. 

DECIDING ON THE RE-UNION. 

General Sickles offered the following resolutions : 

Resolved, That a committee consisting of three representatives of each of 
the Army corps belonging to the Army of the Potomac be appointed by the 
President of this Society, which committee shall take such action as it shall 
deem expedient and proper to commemorate the twenty-fifth anniversary of 
the battle of Gettysburg, by a re-union of the survivors of the Army of the 
Potomac, on the battlefield, on the 1st, 2d and 3d days of July, 1888. 

Resolved, That the committee representing this Society be instructed to 
tender to the survivors of the Army of Northern Virginia our cordial invi- 
tation to take part with us in the battlefield re-union of July, 1888, so that 
the survivors of both armies may on that occasion record in friendship and 
fraternity the sentiments of good will, loyalty and patriotism which now 
happily unite us all in sincere devotion to our beloved country. 

General Fairchild seconded the resolutions. 

The President appointed as the committee to report three places from 
which the place of meeting shall be selected, General Daniel E. , Sickles, 
Captain A. M. Matthews, General C. A. Whittier, General J. J. Milhau, 
Lieutenant F. S. Halliday. 

After consultation the committee reported the names of Gettysburg, Pa., 
Orange, N. J., and Boston, Mass. 

Colonel R. F. O'Beirne and Private H. C. Larowe were appointed tellers. 
The ballot resulted as follows : Gettysburg, 138 ; Orange, 93 ; Boston, 58. 

General Sickles' resolutions, already presented, were amended to include 
all the corps in the Army, and were adopted. 

OFFICERS ELECTED. 

General John C. Robinson was nominated for President by the Fifth 
Corps, The nomination was seconded by the First and Sixth Corps. 



General F. C. Barlow was nominated by the Second Corps. 
( reneral C. E. Pratt, General H. C. King, General Geo. S. Greene, General 
•J. B. Carr, were also nominated. General King requested that his name 
be withdrawn. 

Corporal E. A. Dubey and Lieutenant W. H. Eacey were appointed 

tellers. 

General John C. Bobinson having received a majority of all the votes 
cast, was declared to be elected President for the ensuing year. 

Lieut. -Colonel Samuel Truesdell was nominated as Treasurer of the Soci- 
ety, General Horatio C. King as Becording Secretary, and General George 
H. Sharpe as Corresponding Secretary, and on motion the President was 
directed to cast the unanimous ballot of the Society for those officers, who 
were then declared elected. General King, who endeavored to decline a re- 
election, was overwhelmed by cries of " Out of order," in which the Presi- 
dent joined, and declared the election carried. 

The following resolutions, offered by Corporal James Tanner, were 
adopted : 

Resolved, That the Society of the Army of the Potomac congratulates 
the country at large that, in obedience to a sentiment vastly' dominant 
throughout the land, the battle banners wrested by the valor of our com- 
rades, living and dead, from the hands of a gallant foe, are to remain, as the 
law of the land provides, forevermore under the protection of all the peo- 
ple, as represented by the constituted authorities of the nation. 

Resolved, That while in the days when we kept step to the martial music 
of the Union, when the scenes of camp and field and all the dread accom- 
paniments of deadly strife entered so largely into our daily life, these ban- 
ners floated at the head of rebellious columns, they are nevertheless holy 
relics of our common people. Brave men died to keep them afloat. Brave 
men died to bring them down. They shall not be burned. They shall not 
be lightly given away by those who in no sense can enter into the feelings 
of either those who by the exercise of a heroism unexcelled were enabled 
to lay them as trophies at the feet of Abraham Lincoln, or of those who 
only surrendered them after a heroic defence which but enhanced the 
glory of the capture. For Northern man and Southern man — Union men 
all to-day — we demand for those flags such care as will insure their 
preservation, in order that generations yet to come may gaze upon them, 
not in humiliation or exultation, but to the end that such contemplation 
may produce reflections upon the awful sacrifice through which we have 
reached our high plane of national existence, and give them firm resolve 
that through all their lives this generation will stand solidly for Union, 
for Peace and for Fraternity. 



The following resolutions offered by General King were unanimously 
adopted : 

Resolved, That the Society extend its thanks to the Legislature of New 
York, and especially to Senators Sloan and Murphy, and to Governor Hill, 
the Executive of the State, for the generous appropriation of $7,500 for the 
purpose of sending two of the historic regiments of the National Guard, the 
14th and 69th Regiments, to honor the re-union of the Army of the Potomac. 

Resolved, That the thanks of the Society of the Army of the Potomac 
arc hereby extended to the President and corporate authorities of Saratoga, 
to the Executive Committee, and to the citizens of this beautiful village, for 
the generous reception extended to the members of the Society ; and also to 
the local and visiting military bodies and Grand Army Posts, which, by 
their presence, have made this one of the most succcessf ul re-unions of the 
Society in its history. 

General Robinson presented an invitation from the Fairmount Park Art 
Association to the Society, to participate in the ceremony attending the 
dedication of the bronze equestrian statue of General George G. Meade, 
which was accepted. 

Coporal.Tanner : I move that this Society does not thank General Mc- 
Mahon for simply doing his duty, but we compliment him and congratulate 
ourselves that he has filled the chair with such marked ability, such cour- 
tesy and such conservatism of the rights of each individual. 

The motion was unanimously carried by a rising vote. 

The President : I thank you for your kind courtesy in adopting the mo- 
tion of Coporal Tanner. I appreciate it fully, and I consider it the greatest 
honor I have ever achieved or hope to achieve to have been President of this 
Society. 

On motion, the following named gentlemen were elected honorary members 
of the Society: Lieutenant Com. A. R. McNair, U. S. N.; Commander E. T. 
Woodward, U. S. 1ST.; Lieutenant Loyal Earragut, U. S. A.; Lieutenant C. 
M. Depew, the Orator; Mr. Wallace Bruce, the Poet. Subsequently at the 
banquet, on motion of General King, General W. T. Sherman was also 
elected an honorary member. 

At this moment General Sherman and Mr. Depew entered the hall, and 
each in turn was received with three cheers of welcome. 

It was moved and carried that the Society be requested to attend the un- 
veiling of the statue of General A. E. Burnside, at Providence, R. L, on 
the 4th of July, 1887. 

On motion, it was resolved that a committee be appointed from each corps 
to take steps to prepare a suitable memorial in honor of General George B. 
McClellan, and report at the next meeting. 

On motion, the meeting adjourned.

Numerous organizations which came to participate did not take part, 
owing to the weather and the muddy line of march; including the Veterans 
of the Seventh Regiment. 

Notwithstanding the rain, the pavements of Broadway were thronged and 
every window was filled with enthusiastic spectators. 

EVENING MEETING. 

The vast Casino, with a capacity of four thousand people, was filled in 
every part. It was handsomely decorated with flags, bunting, emblematic 
devices and Chinese lanterns. At the end farthest from the entrance was a 
large canvas, upon which was painted a lifelike camp scene. Upon the plat- 
form, besides General Sherman and other distinguished ex-officers and citi- 
zens, were many of the wives of the visiting veterans. General McMahon 
presided, and after a spirited prelude by Doring's Band, in which were in- 
troduced many of the familiar songs of the war times, the President called 
the meeting to order, and requested the Rev. Dr. Joseph Carey of Saratoga 
Springs to offer prayer. 

An address of welcome was next delivered by Rev, William R. Terry, act- 
ing for Captain LeAvis R. Wood, a veteran and President of the village of 
Saratoga ; the response being made by the President of the Society, General 
M. T. McMahon. 

At the conclusion of his address the band struck up "Marching Through 
Georgia/' and Secretary King, springing to his feet, lead the chorus, in 
which he was joined by the audience, and the grand melody rolled forth 
from thousands of throats. None sang with more enthusiasm than did the 
rugged old hero of that famous march to the sea ; and the effect was elec- 
trical. 

The President : Ladies and gentlemen, perhaps you are not aware that 
the Army of the Potomac, which was equipped in its day with everything 
necessary for a quiet life, now keeps a poet. I have the honor to introduce 
Mr. Wallace Bruce, of New York, the poet of the evening 

Mr. Bruce then stepped forward, and delivered with brilliant and thrill- 
ing effect, the poem entitled "The Candle Parade," illustrating a most strik- 
ing incident, at the close of the war, when the armies were encamped 
around Washington, waiting for the closing review in the streets of that 
city. 

The poet was frequently interrupted by fervent demonstrations of appre- 
ciation, and at the close was greeted with prolonged applause. 

The orator of the day, Lieutenant Chauncey M. Depew, was next intro- 
duced, and, as was anticipated, made a striking and masterly exhibition of 
his rhetorical powers. 



The oration, during its delivery, was frequently interrupted with ap- 
plause, and at its close three cheers were proposed for the orator, and given 
with enthusiasm. 

At this point a number of young misses belonging to the High School of 
Saratoga, marshaled by their principal, sang one of the old army songs, 
after which two of them, bearing a large wreath of immortelles, came to the 
front of the stage, accompanied by their teacher, who addressed the Presi- 
dent as follows : 

General McMahon, on behalf of the young ladies of the High School of 
Saratoga, forty-two in number, I present to you, or the Army of the Poto- 
mac through you, this beautiful gift as their gift. 

To which the President responded : 

On behalf of the Society of the Army of the Potomac here and elsewhere, 
I accept this very beautiful gift from the very beautiful donors. 

The class then sang the " Star Spangled Banner." 

In response to loud calls and cheering, General Sherman made the next 
oration, and was followed by General H. W. Slocum, General Daniel E. 
Sickles and ex- Judge Henry D. Hilton. 

THE BANQUET. 

The second day opened with rain, and many who had intended to remain 
and paaticipate in the banquet, were discouraged at the outlook and re- 
turned home. • 

The upper end of the immense dining room in Congress Hall was set 
apart for the oanquet. Around the walls there was a liberal attendance of 
ladies, and immediately in the rear of the main table, on a raised dais, were 
seated a number of ladies, including Mrs. Colonel Grant, Mrs. General 
King, Mrs. Colonel Clement, Mrs. Colonel Church, Mrs. General Pinto, 
Mrs. General Whipple, Mrs. Wallace Bruce and Mrs. F. S. Halliday. 

Promptly at half-past eight some two hundred and fifty members, pre- 
ceded by the President and invited guests, marched into the room and took 
their seats. 

The menu represented crossed flags, the one tbe faded and torn battle 
flag of the nation, and the other the white flag of peace, surmounted by a 
dove, and beneath was the embossed badge of the Society, a beautiful and 
exquisite bit of workmanship, the most tasteful of any of the menu cards at 
the banquets of the Society. 

Grace was asked by the Rev. Joseph Carey, and the members then at- 
tacked the following bill of fare :

After a lengthy and very satisfactory discussion of the viands, the Presi- 
dent rapped for order, and said : 

Combades : It now becomes my duty to announce the first regular toast, 
" The President of the United States," to which General John C. Black will 
respond. • 

The next toast, " The State of New York," was responded to by General 
Judge Calvin E. Pratt. 

' ' Saratoga Springs," called forth a reply from Professor Nathan Shep 
pard, which was both amusing and witty. 

The Orator of the Day, Chauncey M. Depew, was received with ap- 
plause and three cheers, and that gentleman responded with his usual alac- 
rity and humor. 

To the next toast, "The Army of the Potomac," General Slocum re- 
sponded. 

" Our Sister Societies and Brothers in Arms," brought a reply from old 
man Sherman himself. 

At the close of his speech, which was pathetic and humorous, and con- 
tained numerous telling hits at men and events, the Secretary, General King, 
moved that General Sherman be elected an honorary member of the Society, 
which motion was enthusiastically carried. 

The next toast in order was the "Army and Navy," of which the President 
said, "I shall request General Whipple, of the army, to respond, although 



he has not had much experience of the navy, further than living on Gover- 
nor's Island, whence he reaches the mainland in a tug boat." 

The next toast, "The Volunteers/' was responded to by General Sickles. 

Three cheers were proposed for General Sickles at the close of his address, 
and were given with great warmth. 

The next toast, "The Army of the James," called forth a response from 
Corporal James Tanner, who spoke in his usually effective manner. 

To the next regular toast, "The National Guard," General Daniel But- 
terfleld responded. 

Mr. Wallace Bruce responded to the toast, "The Poet," with the follow- 
ing lines : It is said that when General Grant was dying, a ray of sunlight 
through the half-closed shutters fell upon Lincoln's picture, leaving the 
General's picture beside it in shadow. After lingering for a moment, it 
passed and fell upon the dying hero's face. Here are the lines I have 
written: 

THE SILENT SOLDIER. 

From gulf to lake, from sea to sea, 

The land is draped — a nation weeps ; 
And o'er the bier bows reverently, 

Whereon the silent soldier sleeps. 

The mountain top is bathed in light, 

And eastern cliff with outlook wide; 
Its name shall live in memory bright — 

The Mount McGregor, where he died ! 

A monument to stand for aye, 

In summer's bloom, in winter's snows, 
A shrine where men shall come to pray 

While at its base the Hudson flows. 

A humble room, the light burns low, 

The morning breaks on distant hill, 
The failing pulse is beating slow. 

The group is motionless and still. 

Two portraits hang upon the wall. 

Two kindred pictures side by side — 
Statesmen and soldier, loved by all — 

Lincoln and Grant, Columbia's pride. 

A siDgle ray through lattice streams, 

And breaks in rainbow colors there; 
On Lincoln's brow a glory gleams, 

As wife and children kneel in prayer. 

A halo round the martyr's head, 

It lights the sad and solemn room; 
Above the living and the dead, 

The soldier's portrait hangs in gloom. 

In shadow one, and one in light ; 

But look ! the pencil ray has passed, 
And on the hero's picture bright 

The golden sunlight rests at last. 

And so, throughout the coming years. 

On both the morning beam shall play, 
When the long night of bitter tears 

Has melted in the light away. 

The President then said : " We have now reached the end of our regular 
toasts, but as I desire to preserve the continuity of the Society, I will ask 



and propose the health of my successor, General John C. Robinson;" and 
General Robinson replied : "I hope to meet you all again on the field of the 
greatest battle of modern times, where we helped to preserve the nation. 
We will not find there the palatial hotels nor the sparkling streams of Sar- 
atoga, but I shall ask of the Governor of Pennsylvania to have quarters and 
a commissariat, so that we will all be comfortable, and I hope every mem- 
ber will be there." 

ON TO GETTYSBURG. 

In connection with the re-union this year on the great battlefield the fol- 
lowing sentiments were expressed by the several orators of the day and even- 
ing : 

Go to Gettysburg next year and welcome heartily your " enemy" of that 
field, your enemy no more. 

You iiave had here, I think, one of the most delightful meetings the So- 
ciety has ever enjoyed. You will have one more, at which more members 
will be present, and to which more interest will be attached — the meeting 
next year on the battlefield of Gettysburg. 

A correspondent in writing of the banquet, said : "The four years of the 
great war had their annals told anew, and their glories again lighted the 
eyes and flushed the cheeks of the heroes who fought and suffered through 
them. Then the parting till the next re-union, which, with the Army of 
Northern Virginia, shall be at Gettysburg." 

THIRD CORPS SOCIETY. 

The annual meeting of the surviving officers of Third Army Corps and 
the Twenty-fourth Anniversary Banquet of the Third Army Corps Union 
were held at the Windsor Hotel, New York City, on Thursday, May 5, at 
four o'clock p. m., Colonel A. Judson Clark, Vice-President, in the chair. 

General Sickles moved : " That a committee of seven members of the 
Third Union Corps be appointed to take steps looking to a re-union of the 
Army of the Potomac and the Army of Northern Virginia, at Gettysburg, 
on the 1st, 2d and 3d of July, 1888 ; that said committee be authorized 
to correspond with the Society of the Army of the Potomac and the societies 
of the army corps belonging to the Army of the Potomac, and with the or- 
ganizations of the Grand Army of the Republic ; likewise with the organ- 
izations, societies and officers of the Army of North Virginia, for the pur- 
pose of making proper arrangements for the re-union contemplated in this 
resolution ; and that such committee have power to unite with the organ- 
izations above named in taking such measures as may be agreed upon for 
the occasion ;" which resolution was passed unanimously. 

Colonel McMichael moved, and it was so ordered, " That it be expressed 
as the sense of this Society, that nothing contained in General Sickles' reso- 



lution shall be construed as interfering with or changing the regular .annual 
re-union of the Third Corps Union for 1888." 

Committee named under General Sickles' resolution were : Generals 
Sickles, Carr, Eobinson, Graham, Sharpe, Colonels Macmichael and Clark. 

Pursuant to notice given at last re-union, and which was inadvertently 
omitted in the minutes of said re-union, the following resolution was pre- 
sented, and after some discussion Avas unanimously adopted: 

" That the Constitution and By-Laws be and they are hereby so amended 
as to extend eligibility to membership to all non-commissioned officers and 
privates who have served in the Third Army Corps, or who have participated 
in any of the battles of the corps." 

Colonel Macmichael, Major Fassitt, and Major Bullard were appointed a 
committee, who shall, in conjunction with. the President, the Secretary and

PROCEEDINGS OF THE LAST MEETING OF THE SOCIETY OF THE 
ARMY OF NORTHERN VIRGINIA. 



The annual gathering of the veterans of the Army of Northern Virginia 
in the State Capitol, at Richmond, always attracts a crowd of interested 
auditors, and this was no exception. At an early hour on Friday, October 
28, 1887, the audience began to assemble, and a time was spent by the 
veterans in cordial greetings, the revival of old memories, and in the recog- 
nition and applause of well-known Confederates. Governor Lee, Genenil 
J. E. Johnston, General Hampton, General Early, General Taliaferro, and 
others, were loudly applauded as they came into the hall. General Talia- 
ferro, the President, called the Association to order, and the Chaplain, Dr. 
J. William Jones, led in prayer. 

General Taliaferro then cordially congratulated the Association on the 
numbers present. He alluded in fitting phrase to the visit of President 
Cleveland to Richmond, and to the fact that the Southern veterans, while 
true to the Union, had not forgotten the memories of other days, the cause 
for which they fought, or their great commander, R. E. Lee. General 
Taliaferro warmly congratulated the Association on the presence of the first 
great commander of the Army of Northern Virginia, General J. E. John- 
ston ; the great son of South Carolina (Hampton), who rode with the Cav- 
alry Corps ; the distinguished Lieutenant-General (J. A. Early), who was 
the first President of this Association ; the son of our great commander 
(General W. H. F. Lee), who won his spurs in the Cavalry ; our own dis- 
tinguished Governor (General* Fitz Lee), and other soldiers worthy of com- 
panionship with these ; and then in fitting phrase he introduced the orator 
of the evening, Colonel A. M. Waddell, of North Carolina. 



THE ORATION. 

Colonel Waddell was warmly received by the Association and the audi- 
ence, and was loudly applauded. With graceful and eloquent allusion to 
the memories of the occosion, and some very fine satire on the changes in 
the opinions held by certain so-called statesmen of the present, Colonel 
Waddell quoted from Colonel Charles Marshall's speech before the Associa- 
tion some years ago, as to the very great difficulty of giving accurately his- 
toric facts. Among other illustrations of this Colonel Waddell cited the 
mistakes that had been made in the accounts of Pettigrew's Division at 
Gettysburg. He eloquently insisted, amid the loud apj^lause of the audi- 
ence, that while he would not detract from the honor that justly belongs to 
Pickett's Division, yet it was due to Pettigrew's Division of North Caro- 
linians and Archer's Tennessee Brigade to say that on that last day at 
Gettysburg they went as far and stayed as long as any other troops, and are 
entitled to equal honor with Pickett's men. 

He introduced as his theme " The Last Year of the War in North Caro- 
lina," giving a very vivid account of the capture of Plymouth ; an account 
of the bombardment and final capture of Port Fisher, with a very amusing 
account of Butler's powder-ship and its explosion. He told an anecdote 
given him by Admiral Porter, which brought down the house in rapturous 
applause. His description of the final assault and capture of Fort Fisher 
and the gallant defence of the heroic garrison was very fine. 

Colonel Waddell next spoke of the assuming of command by General 
J. E. Johnston, and the ability with which he conducted his operations ; 
paid a tribute to General Hampton's operations, both of which elicited loud 
applause. 

His contrast between the conduct of Cornwallis' Army in their march 
through North Carolina in the first Revolution and that of Sherman's 
" bummers," was very striking and certainly not to the credit of the latter. 
Colonel Waddell complimented General Taliaferro on his splendid fight at 
Averasboro ; then gave a very interesting account of the Confederate vic- 
tory at Bentonville ; closing with a description of the final catastrophe, and 
an eloquent tribute to Virginia and to Lee, which was loudly applauded. 
Colonel Waddell enlivened his speech with keen wit, humor, and well-told 
anecdotes, which brought down the house in applause. The whole speech 
was an admirable one. 

On motion of General Early, the officers 'of the Association were re- 
elected, the name of General J. R, Cooke being substituted for that of Gen- 
eral Smith, 



On motion of the Hon. George L. Christian, feeling resolutions oa tha 
death of General William Smith were adopted. 

THE BANQUET. 

After the addresses at tne hall there was a banquet at Pizzini's. General 
Taliaferro presided, and there were present Generals Hampton, Early, W. 
H. F. Lee, B. T. Johnson, R. Eansom, William McComb, and T. T. Mum- 
ford, Colonel Waddell, Colonel R. T. W. Duke, Colonel Randolph Harri- 
son, Colonel John B. Cary, Rev. Dr. Dame of Baltimore, Gardiner Tyler, 
Esq., Rev. Dr. Goodwin, E. V. Valentine, Esq., Judge Theodore S. Gar- 
nett, Judge George L. Christian, Captain W. Gordon McCabe, Professor 
J. M. Garnett, and a number of other good old Confederates, who greatly 
enjoyed the opportunity of mingling together in pleasant social intercourse. 
It had been determined to have no regular toasts or set speeches at this 
meeting, and so there was ample time to discuss the bill of fare as the old 
soldiers fought their battles over again, and compared the rations with those 
they were wont to " draw from the Commissary."

PROVISION MADE FOR THE ACCOMMODATION OF ALL WHO AT- 
TEND THE RE-UNION.. 



The lack of shelter in the immediate vicinity of the Battlefield has, here- 
tofore, been the one great drawback to the enjoj^ment of visitors to Gettys- 
burg, who arrive there in large parties or on special occasions which attract 
many persons at the same time. To obviate this inconvenience, on the 
great occasion to which the eyes and best wishes of the country are directed, 
an appropriation of $25,000 was requested of the National Congress — not to 
pay railroad fares or an}' incidental expenses — but to put up barracks to 
shelter the thousands of Veterans of both Armies who will make the fra- 
ternal pilgrimage — to put up field kitchens and provide caterers, that every- 
one on the National camping ground may obtain good meals at a reasonable 
figure. Veterans are expected to bring their own blankets, and their ex- 
penses will be only $1 per day — for three good substantial meals, as good, if 
not better, than can be obtained in New York for the same money. 

The Gettysburg and Harrisburg Railroad will run trains morning and 
evening to Carlisle sufficient to accommodate all those who desire to stop in 
the hotels and boarding houses along the line on the mountains between 
Carlisle and Gettysburg. Three or four thousand people can be accom- 
modated in this way at Golden, Table Eock, Biglerville, Sunnyside, Ben- 
dersville, Gardner's, Idaville, Stainer's, Zion Church, Pine Grove Park, 
Laurel Forge, Hunter's Run, Mt. Holly Springs, Craighead, Bonny Brook 
and Carlisle. The trip forth and back is through a most picturesque and 
beautiful country and the noise and confusion of the nights in Gettysburg 
are avoided. 






Tents will be provided by Governor James A. Beaver of Pennsylvania for 
8,000 men ; these will all be floored and nicely bedded with straw. The 
State of New Jersey will provide tents for the shelter of every man who 
leaves that State to participate in the dedication of her monuments. The 
New Jersey Camp will be pitched on the historic Wheat Field. The Grand 
Army of the Republic and Sons of Veterans of Pennsylvania will provide 
their own quarters as of yore. From New York but one regiment of the 
National Guard will represent the State and they, like the New Jersey 
troops, will encamp in their own establishment, bringing their own equipage. 

Many of the Veteran Associations took time by the forelock aud secured 
accommodations months ago, but the general mass of visitors will find that 
by application at the office of the Burgess, Mr. William H. Tipton, all 
vacant places can be obtained . 

Several parties chartering special trains will sleep in them during the R; - 
Union, and for their accomodation a side track three-quarters of a mile in 
length has been constructed within the limits of the borough by Mr. William 
H. "Woodward of the Gettysburg and Harrisburg Railroad. Still other par- 
ties have hotel cars and sleeping cars placed on a siding and shedded over ; 
so that they have all the accommodations of home, with the additional 
facility of changing its location when inclination or necessity requires. 

The people of Gettysburg generally are throwing their entire energies 
into providing for the many thousand strangers who will visit them, and 
every house will be a lodging house during the Re-Union.

THE BLUE AND THE GRAY 

RE-UNION OF THE SURVIVORS OF THE PHILADELPHIA BRIGADE AND PICKETT'S DIVISION, JULY 1, 2 

AND 3, 1887. 



THE PRELIMINARIES. 

The memorable and chivalric re-union of the Blue and Gray at Gettys- 
burg, July 1, 2 and 3, 1887, at which three hundred survivors of Pickett's 
renowned division were the guests of the " Philadelphia Brigade,'' although 
a matter of interesting history, yet the causes which led to that three days' 
fraternizing of the bravest of Confederate forces with the Union troops, 
which met and repelled the most heroic charge recorded during the late war, 
have never been published. They are now given to the public for the first 
time. 

The " Philadelphia Brigade," which was officially the Second Brigade, 
Second Division, Second Corps of the Army of the Potomac, was comprised 
of Colonel E. D. Baker's California Regiment, the 71st of the Pa. line ; 
Baxter's Philadelphia Fire Zouaves, the 72d P. Y.: " Paddy Owen's Regu- 
lars," the 69th P. V.; and the 106th Pa. Volunteer Regiment. Previous to 
1887 the 72d and 106th erected monuments to mark their locations in the 
Gettysburg battle, and it was the intention of the 69th to dedicate its monu- 
ment early in 1887, but owing to the fact that the 71st intended to unveil 
its monument on July 3d of that year, the 69th generously postponed its 
dedication until that date. 

In the meantime, about February, 1887, the four regiments forming the 
Philadelphia Brigade came together and formed a Brigade Association with 
Colonel Charles H. Banes of the 72d as Commander, Lieutenant William S. 
Simpson of the 71st as Quartermaster, and Sergeant John W. Frazier of the 



71st as Adjutant, but who resigned previous to the re-union, and Captain 
James M. Whitecar of the 69th was elected to fill the vacancy. 

While the 69th and 71st P. V. Regiments were engaged in constructing 
their monuments, word reached them that the surviving members of Pick- 
ett's Division intended to erect a monument to mark the spot where General 
Armistead was killed, at the head of his Brigade, within the Union lines — 
about 150 feet inside the stone wall of Cemetery Ridge, and in consequence 
a good deal of correspondence passed between individual members of the 
two regiments named and of Pickett's Division, carried on mainly by Com- 
rades William S. Stockton and John W. Frazier on the part of the 71st, 
and A. W. McDermott of the 69th P. V., and Sergeant William T. Loehr 
of Richmond, Va., on behalf of Pickett's Division, but nothing definite was 
concluded further than that the 71st and 69th P. V. would meet the men of 
Pickett's Division in a spirit of •'Fraternity, Charity and Loyalty." 

After the organization of the Philadelphia Brigade Association, Comrades 
Frazier and Stockton of the 71st, and McDermott and McKeeverof the 69th. 
agreed that their Regimental Associations should extend an invitation to the 
Brigade Association to be present at the dedication of their monuments. 
The invitation was informally accepted, and immediately Comrades Frazier 
and Stockton planned to have the Brigade Association take the place of the, 
two individual regiments in Avhatever action was to be had looking to a fra- 
ternal meeting with Pickett's Division, to which Comrades McDermott and 
McKeever gave reluctant but kindly assent, owing to the fact that they had 
already invited Colonel A. K. McClure of the Philadelphia Times, to be- 
come their orator of the day, and to ex-Governor Curtin to extend a wel- 
come, on behalf of the State of Pennsylvania, to the men of Pickett's Divi- 
sion. 

The 69th's position was embarrassing, but inasmuch as Colonel McClure 
had formally accepted, and no reply had been received from Governor Cur- 
tin, it was tacitly agreed by all parties in interest, upon the suggestion of 
Comrade Frazier, that in the event of Pickett's men being present, a soldier's 
welcome should be extended them by Colonel Charles H. Banes, on behalf 
of the Philadelphia Brigade, and- that Colonel McClure should give them a 
hearty welcome on behalf of the people of Pennsylvania generally and of the 
city of Philadelphia particularly. That programme was carried out, and 
Comrades McDermott and McKeever did noble work in securing the great 
success achieved. 

PICKETT'S MEN IX LINE. 

About the middle of February, 1887, a meeting of the surviving members 
of Pickett's Division was held in Ricnmond, and it was determined to hold 



a re-union of the whole Division at Gettysburg, July 3, 1887, and a Re-union 
Committee consisting of Judge William G. Clopton, Chairman ; Major 
Charles Pickett, Captain A. R. Woodson, Major Joseph V. Bidgood and 
Sergeant Charles T. Loehr, Secretary, was appointed. 

Correspondence with the Gettysburg Memorial Association resulted in the 
Committee receiving information that it was a rule not to allow Confeder- 
ate monuments within the Federal lines ; thereupon a committee consisting 
of Colonel J. L. Maury, Judge Clopton and Captain E. P. Reeve, visited 
Gettysburg, and, after a lengthy conference with the Gettysburg Memorial 
Association, were informed that monuments must be on original lines of 
battle and not in temporary positions, but that they were willing to allow a 
"marker" to be placed where General Armistead was shot — the extreme 
point of the charge. 

Colonel Batchelder of the Gettysburg Commission, informed the Pickett's 
Committee that he had received bushels of letters from the North in regard 
to Pickett's Division, and intimated that many of the writers were bitterly 
opposed to their proposed visit to Gettysburg. 

A meeting of the Executive Committee of Pickett's Division was held in 
Richmond, May 7, 1887, and when the Committee concluded its report, the 
Committee, on motion of Mr. Bidgood, unanimously adopted the following 
resolutions : 

Resolved, That the Committee, having heard the report of the Sub-Committee sent to 
Gettysburg to confer with the Committee of the Gettysburg Memorial Association, and hav- 
ing learned that they will not be allowed to locate their proposed monument upon the spot 
to which the Division penetrated within the Federal lines in their charge, therefor - ), 

Resolved, That it is inexpedient to erect their monument upon the Gettysburg Battlefield. 

Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be sent the Secretary of the Gettysburg Memorial 
Association. 

The Committee unanimously resolved to hold no reunion at Gettysburg 
that summer. 

THE PHILADELPHIA BRIGADE TAKE ACTION. 

At a meeting of the Philadelphia Brigade Association held May 4, 1887, 
Comrade John W. Frazier moved that a committee of 9 — two from each 
regiment, with Colonel Banes as Chairman — be appointed to make all the 
arrangements necessary to extend a fitting welcome to Pickett's Division at 
Gettysburg. The motion being adopted, Comrade Frazier was made Secre- 
tary, and having been informed of the action of the Executive Committee 
of Pickett's Division, held on May 7, called a meeting of his own Committee 
in Colonel A. K. McClure's- editorial parlors — which had kindly been offered 
for the Philadelphia Brigade Committee's use — on the 10th of May, at which 
he wa* instructed to furtWr communicate with the Pickett people, using 



every means in his power to secure their presence at Gettysburg. The fol- 
lowing from the Philadelphia Press of May 12, headlines and all, tells its 
own story : 

PICKETT'S DIVISION. 

URGENT LETTER FROM PHILADELPHIA ADVOCATING THE RE-UNION AT GETTYSBURG. 

At a meeting of the Committee of Reception of the Philadelphia Brigade to Pickett's JDivi 
sion on Tuesday, Secretary John W. Frazier was instructed to communicate with Pickett's 
Division Association and express the regret of the Brigade at the possibility of the re-union 
not taking place at Gettysburg on July 3, as was proposed. He was also instructed to extend 
an invitation to Pickett's men, inviting them to become the guests of the Philadelphia Brig- 
ade. Mr. Prazier's letter was read at the monthly meeting of the California Regiment last 
evening, and at the suggestion of Colonel R. Penn Smith, who commanded that regiment at 
Gettysburg, and on motion of Major John Lockhart, the letter was unanimously approved 
and Secretary Frazier advised to forward it to Richmond. The letter is as follows : 
Sergeant Charles T. Loehr, Secretary Pickett 1 s Division Association, Richmond, Va. 

My Dear Comrade : The very agreeable duty of communicating with your Association 
relative to the re-union at Gettysburg has been assigned to me. 

At a meeting of the Philadelphia Brigade held May 4 a Committee of nine— two from each 
regiment — with Colonel Charles H. Banes, Commander of the Brigade Association, as Chair- 
man, was appointed to make all the arrangements necessary to extend a fitting welcome to 
Pickett's Division Association at Gettysburg. At a meeting of that Committee held on May 10 1 
was directed to officially inform your Association of our deep regret at the possibility of the 
contemplated re-union between your Division and our Brigade Association not taking place 
in July next at Gettysburg. 

We regret this all the more because we who witnessed it had intended on behalf of the State 
of Pennsylvania, and the city of Philadelphia particularly, to extend such a welcome as your 
unsurpassed bravery merited, and I was further instructed to earnestly request you not to 
forego your intention to hold your first re-union at Gettysburg July 3, but to meet there as 
the guests of the Philadelphia Brigade, to enjoy the hospitality that we will extend to you, 
and upor. that occasion, with the fraternal f eelings created by that re-union, the first of the 
kind held since the war, and with our sincere sympathy and aid , to complete the arrangements 
you have begun towards dedicating an imperishable monument to commemorate American 
heroism, of which none are prouder than they who withstood the shock of your charge — a 
charge not surpassed in its grandeur and unfaltering courage in the annals of war since time 
began. 

Please lay this letter before your Association at its meeting on Saturday next, and urge 
your comrades — the brave men of Pickett's renowned Division — to meet us at Gettysburg 
July 3, and assure them for me and the Brigade I have the honor to represent that we will be 
more than pleased to greet as many as will meet with us, whether it be 100 or 1,000, or more, 
and that great good to all concerned will result from that re-union. 

Please let me hear from you at the earliest moment, as your acceptance will necessitate 
some immediate and tleasant labor on our part. With renewed assurance of soldierly regard, 
believe me, yours very truly, John W. Frazier, 

Secretary pro tern. Philadelphia Brigade. 
Philadelphia, May 11. 

Under date of May 14, Secretary Charles T. Loehr thus wrote to Secretary 

Frazier : 

John W. Frazier, Esq., Secretary of the Philadelphia Brigade Association. 

Dear Sir : The cordial invitation extended to our Division by your Brigade Association 
was laid before our Committee. In reply I am requested to tender you our sincere and grate 
lul thanks for the fraternal welcome and the very flattering terms therein contained, to ex- 



press to your Association the assurance that while this Com mittee does not feel itself now 
authorized to accept the invitation so generously tendered, for the reason that their functions 
have ceased, when at their last meeting they decided not to hold their re- union at Gettys- 
burg, they deeply feel and appreciate all your kind intentions and efforts tor friendship sake. 
We hope and tmst that the day may come when all lines between us shall have forever 
faded, that the survivors of our old Division and those of your gallant Brigade will meet at 
Gettysburg to dedicate a Union monument (not for what was once called the Union side), a 
memorial to the gallant men of both sides, expressive of the true American motto, " A large 
Country and a large Heart," remembering only the devotion and courage of the men who 
darad to sacrifice their lives and limbs for their principle and their country. 

Undaunted bv reverses Comrade Frazier was more than ever determined 
that the re-union should take place, and under date of May 23, 1887, wrote 
the following letter to Sergeant Charles T. Loehr, who was personally doing 
almost superhuman service to bring the men of Pickett's Division Associa- 
tion to a reconsideration of the action of their Executive Committee : 

My Dear Comrade : In your letter of the 16th instant you state that a permanent Asso- 
ciation of the survivors of Pickett's Division will be organized, and that a meeting for that 
purpose has been called for June 1 next. That being the case, I write to kindly ask you to 
present at that meeting my letter of May 11, officially inviting the brave men of Pickett's 
Division to become the guests of the Philadelphia Brigade at Gettysburg on the 2d, 3d and 4th 
of July next. 

"Writing as an individual member of the Brigade Association I do not hesitate to say that I 
am sure every member of our Association would gladly and earnestly co-operate with your 
Association in securing the location of a monument on the spot where the brave General 
Armistead fell, and I believe that your Association will yet determine to place one there to 
mark the spot not only where General Armistead laid down his life, but to indicate for all 
time to come on the historic grounds of Gettysburg the position reached by Pickett's Division 
in the face of a hail of musket balls, solid shot, and shell, more terrible, perhaps, than was 
hurled against any body of men on either side during the late war. 

We have been so long anticipating, with so much pleasure, the renewal of an acquaintance 
begun and ended so unceremoniously twenty-four years ago that we know not how to take 
any disappointment of our hopes and plans, and if not all your Association, we still hope a 
goodly committee — not less than one hundred strong — will be appointed at your meeting on 
June 1 to represent your Association at Gettysburg as the honored guests of the Philadelphia 
Brigade. 

If your Association could understand how very anxious we are to meet and welcome you, 
I am sure you would not fail in coming. 

Please let me hear favorably from you. Very truly yours, John W. Frazier. 

The responses to the invitation of the Philadelphia Brigade Association, 
and to Comrade Frazier's unofficial letter of May 23, were as follows : 

OFFICERS. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE. 

Gen. WM. R.TERRY, Pr«sident. Capt. WM. J. CLOPTON, Capt. JAS. E. PHILLIPS, 

Mai. CHARLES PICKETT, V. Pres't. Sergt. WM. HARPER DEAN. Col. R. L. MAURY.

PICKETT'S DIVISION ASSOCIATION, 

Richmond, Va., May 26, 1887. 
John W. Frazier, 381!) Spruce St., Philadelphia. 

Dear Comrade : I took the liberty of giving your letter to the Disjiatch, and, from the 
calls I nave had to day, 1 am almost bure that vshen your fraternal iuvitaUou is submitted at 



our general meeting on June 1, we shall succeed in getting at least a respectable delegation to 
join you in revisiting the spot where more history was made in three days than we can now 
possibly make in thirty years. Very truly yours, C. T. Loehr 

PICKETT'S DIVISION ASSOCIATION, 

Richmond, Va., June 2, 1887. 
John W. Fxazier, Esq., Secretary of the Philadelphia Brigade Association. 

Dear Sir and Comrade : Your fraternal invitation of 11th ultimo was submitted to our 
permanent Association last night. In reply thereto it was resolved that our members be at 
once notified that this Association recommends to all the members of Pickett's Division to 
accept your kind invitation to attend your Re-Union on the 2d, 3d and 4th of July next, at 
Gettysburg ; also to extend to your Association our heartfelt thanks for the considerate and 
friendly expressions conveyed by your invitation. 
With fraternal greetings to all the Comrades of your Brigade, I am yours very truly, 

C. T. Loehr, 
Sec'y Pickett's Division Association. 

Immediately upon the receipt of the resolution of Pickett's Division to ac- 
cept the invitation of the Philadelphia Brigade Association to become their 
guests, Secretary Frazier made a call upon a few of the leading citizens of Phil- 
adelphia for funds to enable them to hospitably entertain the brave Virginians, 
the result of which was a generous and patriotic response to the extent of 
about $1,500, and from Saturday evening, July 2, until Tuesday morning, ' 
July 5, the gallant boys of General E. D. Baker's Philadelphia Brigade left 
nothing undone to make the visit of Pickett's bronzed and grizzled veterans 
agreeable. 

THE RE-UNION. 

The news that the survivors of Pickett's Division of the Confederate 
Army would be the guests of the Veterans who had met them on the bloody 
field of Gettysburg in July, 1863, drew an immense number of visitors to 
that town, and every train brought its quota. They had read of the battle, 
had seen and heard of the G. A. R., but they had never seen the gallant, 
though mistaken, men who had opposed the Boys in Blue on the field. 
Hence they were anxious to see the Boys in Gray first and then applaud 
them afterwards. The sentiments raised by the Re-Union were of friendship 
and unity. Entire Posts of the Grand Army, detachments of regiments 
from various States, some accompanied by field music, helped to swell the 
numbers, so that when the Veterans of the two Armies were on parade the 
streets of the quaint and normally quiet tovvn resembled the streets of New 
York during some great pageant. 

The great pressure on the railroad delayed everything, and the trains 
were generally late. The weather was very sultry, and despite the hurrah 
business visible everywhere, there was much discomfort. 



The last train from the North arrived in four sections, with the Philadel- 
phia Brigade, and there was one train from the South. The latter brought 
a delegation from the Third and Seventh Virginia of Kemper's Brigade, 
forty men who came by steamer from Portsmouth to Baltimore, and from 
there acted as escort for Mrs. Pickett and her son. At the depot the men 
were quietly received, told to go to supper and then come down and join in 
the general reception. 

This done, Captain Hicks, Chairman of the Committee of Arrangements, 
was invited into the presence of the widow of the Confederate General who 
had commanded the forces that were to-day the guests of their bygone ene- 
mies. When presented the Captain cordially invited her to become the 
guest of the Philadelphia Brigade. Signifying her assent, Mrs. Pickett was 
escorted through the ladies' room to avoid the crowd, and thence to an open 
barouche and to the Springs Hotel. 

The last train arrived at nine o'clock and again the old time " yell" and 
the bold hurrah resounded in the streets of Gettysburg. " Pickett's Men" 
were there. 

Shouting and yelling, amid a throng of people clasping hands and waving 
handkerchiefs, the united forces — Yankee and Southern — marched to a 
medley of airs through the streets to " The Diamond," or public square. 
The line halted. The Southeners marched up to the head of the Yankee 
line. An order was given — "Right and left face!" and the men in two 
lines faced each other, looking into each other's eyes. There was a blaze of 
fireworks. Someone shouted " Advance!" There was a general charge on 
the Southern line, and as the band staited "Dixie" hands were clasped, 
greetings exchanged, and in not a few instances old acquaintances greeted 
each other. 

This informal hearty welcome was totally unexpected and unlooked for, 
but it was heartfelt on both sides. The hand-shaking over, the column re- 
sumed its march to the Court House where the first camp fire of the Blue 
and the Gray upon the historic field of Gettysburg was held. 

The scene in the court room was a remarkable one. In the front seats 
were the tall forms of the "Johnnies," and seated among them were a few 
ladies; the central seats were filled by a delegation of the white helmetted 
Philadelphians ; behind them the citizens of Gettysburg and visiting Grand 
Army men, while on the platform and within the bar were the officers and 
orators of both Armies, public officials, and last, but not least, the band. 

John W. Frazier, Secretary of the Philadelphia Brigade Association, 
called the meeting to order, and with a few words of cordial greeting pre- 
sented, as presiding officer, W. S. Stockton. c 



Colonel Charles H. Banes, President of the Philadelphia Brigade Associa- 
tion, extended a soldier's welcome to the men who had been their foes in 
war, now warm and devoted friends in peace. 

Captain Eeeve of Richmond responded on behalf of Pickett's Veterans, 
returning hearty thanks for the welcome they had received. 

The welcome to the ex- Confederates on behalf of the State of Pennsyl- 
vania was delivered by Colonel Alexander K. McClure of Philadelphia, who 
eulogized the memory of General Grant, and in concluding, said : " Free 
Government is stronger at home and mightier abroad to-day because of the 
wounds of the Civil War, and our children and our children's children will 
turn to its sacrifices, its sorrows, and its irrevocable judgments as the surest 
guarantee that ' Government of the People, by the People, and for the Peo- 
ple' shall not perish from the earth." 

Colonel William R. Aylett, who succeeded General Armistead as Com- 
mander of the Brigade after the latter's death, responded on behalf o. the 
State of Virginia. Colonel Aylett called attention to the picture of Chief 
Justice Marshall, a son of Virginia, which graced the wall, and in eloquent 
tennis reminded those present that the picture was there when the battle 
was fought, and then, as now, the Sons of Pennsylvania honored the Sons 
of Virginia. He spoke of the glorious destiny of a re-united country, of the 
lives and deaths of Lincoln and Grant, and then paid a tribute to the noble 
self-sacrificing women. of the North and South. "Why," said he "the 
bravest woman I ever saw was a Pennsylvania girl, who defied Pickett's 
whole Division while we marched through a little town called Greencastle. 
She had on a United States flag as an apron, which she defiantly waved 
up and down as our columns passed by her and dared us to take it from 
her. And there was not one man of us who dared do so. Struck by her 
courage and loyalty, Pickett, with hat off, gave her a military salute, my 
regiment presented arms, and we cheered her with a good, old-fashioned rebel 
yell, which some of you boys here have doubtless heard." 

Letters of regret at their absence were then read from President Cleve- 
land, Senator John Sherman and others. Chief Burgess Tipton then, in be- 
half of the citizens of Gettysburg, welcomed all the visitors, and Colonel 
Banes requested all to withdraw that Pickett's Men could be assigned to 
quarters and get that refreshment Avhich a day's journey without intermis- 
sion made absolutely necessary. 

The Philadelphia Brigade— 69th, 71st, 72d and 106th Pennsylvania In- 
fantry — was organized by Senator E. D. Baker, who, authorized to rasie a 
regiment, kept on till he had a Brigade. The battle record of these com- 
mands as inscribed on their colors is Munson's Hill, Ball's Bluff, Yorktown, 
Fair Oaks, Garnett's Farm, Peach Orchard, Savage Station, Glendale, Mal^ 



vern Hill, Harrison's Landing, Antietam, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, 
Gettysburg, Mine Run, The Wilderness, Spottsylvania, Cold Harbor aud 
Petersburg. 

Pickett's Division on the great day of his historic charge was composed 
of the Brigades of Kemper, Armistead, and Garnett, all Virginia troops ; 
and representatives of each regiment were in the company which visited 
Gettysburg in 1887 to shake hands and say Godspeed to the sentiment of 
re-union which had called the old foes together on the platform for all the 
future — " One Country and One flag." 

The limits of this pamphlet will not allow the pleasant task of recording 
all the incidents of one of the most striking events in the world's history — 
contestants in one of the most momentous of recorded battles, meeting on 
the scene of conflict, to compare notes, greet each other as friends, and 
pledge each other from thenceforth to stand shoulder to shoulder for weal 
or woe against all foes — whether internal or external. Some incidents are, 
however, too significant to leave unnoticed. 




MAJOR-G£NERAL GEORGE E. PICKETT. 

Mrs. George E. Pickett, widow of the Commanding Officer of the Con- 
federate Veterans, was the honored guest of both parties to the Re-Union, 
and in company with her son George took part in all the observances of the 
Re-Union. Mrs. Pickett bears the credit of having been the first woman 
who welded the Blue and the Gray together. She was married to General 
Pickett during the war and there are veterans here who remember when she 
was first brought to camp, a beautiful and girlish bride. In 1868 she had 
engraved on the case of her husband's watch the Confederate and Federal 

flags. 

At the dedication of the monuments, which took place on July 3, she was 
presented with a floral emblem, the trefoil badge of the Second Corps. 
Adjutant Alexander McDermott said, in presenting it: " Mrs- Pickett, we- 



should have been happy to greet your gallant husband here to-day, but an 
Allwise Providence has prevented that ; therefore, as his representative, the 
survivors of the 69th Regiment desire to present to you this token of our es- 
teem and beg that you will accept it in the spirit in which it is given." He 
handed her at the same moment a ribbon badge of Blue :tnd Gray. Mrs. 
Pickett, who was deeply affected even to tears, bowed in acknowledgement 
of this, and said in a broken voice: "My heart alone must answer." 
Then while still under the influence of the strong emotion kindled by the 
unexpected and singular tribute, she pinned the badge upon her breast and 
sank back in her seat as the gray-headed veterans sent up an old-fashioned 
cheer for the lady. 

The public exercises of that Sunday afternoon consisted of the dedication 
of the monuments of the dead of the 69th and 71st Pennsylvania Volunteers, 
the stone marking the spot where the gallant Lieutenant Clashing died, and 
the monument for the losses in Cowan's New York Battery. 

At the dedication of the latter, two remarkable incidents occurred. One 
was the placing of a sword by Captain Cowan into the hands of Pickett's 
Men "for the purpose of finding to whom it had belonged and restoring it 
to his family." Captain Cowan said that during the battle it had been 
wielded by a young Virginian officer who fell dead in front of his guns. 
The other was the passage of a resolution to erect a stone to General Armis- 
tead, Commander of the Brigade that actually pierced the Union lines. 

On Monday morning Mrs. Pickett held a reception on the line on Semi- 
nary Ridge from which her husband started with his Division to make the 
celebrated charge of twenty-four years before. The scene was a most 
affecting one. The position occupied by each regiment was next located 
and the changes made in the direction of the charge pointed out for use of 
the historian : a ride over the entire field followed. 



THE HAND-SHAKE AT THE WALL. 



When the " Boys" reached the Bloody Angle all left the carraiges — the 
spot where they met in the actual tug of war was before them. 

The erstwhile foes looked about them for a few moments — they are all 
goods friends now — the wall was before them ; in a moment each had taken 
their own sides of " Auld Lang Syne," and they were shaking hands across 
it. No more fighting now. Silence, dead silence, fell upon them, and then 
one mighty cheer ruse upon the air, repeated again. Changing individual 
positions up and down the line, the warm clasps were repeated and the 
cheering was resumed. The scene was a memorable one. The field of bat- 
tle under a clear sky looked beautiful. It is said by those who frequently 
visit the ground, that it never looked more picturesque. While a great many 
visitors were at this time distributed over every portion of the field, the 



largest gathering assembled near the stone wall to witness the fraternal greet- 
ings, on the scene of death and suffering, of combatants in a civil war, that 
reached a magnitude unknown to the nations of an older world. The spec- 
tacle was caught on the camera and is engraved for our book so that the 
scene is imperishable. 

The influences of that day drove all idea of sleep from the minds of the 
Veterans. 

Mrs. Pickett came into town from the Springs Hotel in the evening and 
held a reception, the townspeople extending cordial greeting and sympathy, 
the band serenaded her, and after she had retired the Veterans of both 
Armies started a camp fire at the Washington Hotel which was maintained all 
night. Most of the speakers were Virginians, and one after the other they 
told of the feelings that possessed them. The general idea was tersely con- 
veyed by Chaplain Ferguson at the close of his address : " I am the most 
conquered man you ever met — conquered here by love ;" and then, with up- 
lifted hand, he called the assemblage to prayer and invoked divine blessings 
on the actions of the great gathering on this scene of former strife. With 
this most appropriate ending the camp fire was closed, to allow the men to 
prepare for their departure. 

Escorted to the train by the members of the 69th ana 71st Veterans, 
good-bys were exchanged, and the parting words, in instances where the meet- 
ing had been the renewal of acquaintanceship, were touching. All seemed 
loath to part, and two or three were carried some distance away as the train 
moved out, so closely were hand-clasps maintained. Then, with a unani- 
mous yell on the one hand and a hurrah on the other, the Veterans parted, 
hoping to meet again. 

The cordial fraternization of the Blue and the Gray on the field during 
those three days, and the prospect during the three days of the coming July, 
seems to be a realization of Lincoln's prophetic utterance in his first inau- 
gural, in his touching appeal to the South. " We are not enemies, but 
friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it 
must not break, our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory, 
stretching from every battlefield and patriot grave to every living heart and 
hearthstone all over this broad land, will yet swell the chorus of the Union 
when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our 
nature."

PROPOSED MONUMENT TO GENERAL ARMISTEAD. 



The efforts made by Pickett's Division Association to dedicate a monu- 
ment to the memory of General Armistead, and to be located where he 
fell, mortally wounded, inside the Unions lines, were at the re-union of the 
Philadelphia Brigade and Pickett's Division strengthened by a united 
effort on the part of the Philadelphia Brigade and Cowan's New York 
Battery. 

That action originated thus : Immediately after the ceremonies dedi- 
cating the monument of Cowan's First New York Battery had been con- 
cluded, Colonel Cowan, holding a most beautiful sword in his hand, stated 
that he had read in the newspapers that the Philadelphia Brigade intended 
to return to Pickett's Division the war flags captured from them by that 
Brigade at Gettysburg in 1863 ; and, while he considered that the crown- 
ing act of reconciliation, he regretted that his Battery had no flags to 
return to them. 

On the afternoon of July 3, 1863, however, while his Battery was pouring 
grape and canister into the ranks of Pickett's Division, at ten paces, a hand- 
some young Confederate officer fell, with his grasp almost on his (Cowan's) 
guns. There was nothing about his person to indicate who he was ; but 
this beautiful and costly sword, inlaid with pearl, seemed to indicate that 
its owner was a young man of high social standing in Virginia ; and he, 
Colonel Cowan, while having no captured flags to return, did desire to 
place this sword in the custody of Pickett's Division Association, with the 
request that they would make every effort to ascertain to whom it beTonged, 
and from whose body it was taken ; and restore it to the relatives or fj ienda 
of the young man. 



The scene was deeply impressive, and while Colonel Crocker, of Pickett's 
Division, to whom the sword was handed, was making a fitting reply to 
Colonel Cowan, Sergeant John W. Frazier, of Baker's California Regiment 
— the 71st of the Pennsylvania line — and the ranking regiment of the Phil- 
adelphia Brigade — hastily wrote a resolution, passed it to Colonel William 
E. Aylett and Colonel Andrew Cowan for their perusal, and upon their 
approval handed it to General W. W. Burns, of Governor's Island, New 
York Harbor, who commanded the Philadelphia Brigade upon the death of 
General Baker — with the request that he submit it for the consideration of 
those present. General Burns offered the resolution, immediately upon the 
conclusion of Colonel Crocker's speech, and Colonel Cowan put it to the 
meeting in this way : 

"All who are in favor of that resolution please hold up their right 
hand." 

Instantly 500 hands rose high in the air. 

"All who are opposed to it will please hold their right hand." 

Not a hand went up in opposition. 

That resolution read as follows : 

Resolved : By the members of the Philadelphia Brigade Association, Cowan's First New 
York Battery, Pickett's Division Association, and others here present, that the Gettysburg 
Memorial Association be asked to grant to the organizations named, the privilege of 
erecting a monument commemorative of American Heroism. The farthest point reached 
by Pickett's Division inside the Union lines, near the " Bloody Angle," is suggested as the 
spot for the erection of said monument. 

The matter has been progressing steadily during the year, and on Wed- 
nesday, May 2, Colonel W. R. Aylett, who took command of General 
Armistead's Brigade, after the fall of the latter on the field on that fated 
July 3, 1863, lectured to a hearty, generous and enthusiastic audience at the 
Academy of Music in Philadelphia. The lecture on "Gettysburg" was 
delivered under the auspices of the Philadelphia Brigade, for the purpose of 
raising funds with which to erect the proposed monument. 

A Philadelphia paper, speaking of the lecture and the audience, said that 
it was a fitting sequence to the re-union of the Philadelphia Brigade and 
Pickett's Division in the " Bloody Angle " of the battle of Gettysburg on 
the 3d of July, of 1887. All around the stage were grouped the veterans of 
the Philadelphia Brigade, officers and privates, who had initiated and 
carried to successful conclusion the re-union which Colonel Aylett graphi- 
cally described as a scene never before witnessed in the history of the human 
race, and an event which " Heaven saw and God and the angels approved." 

Mrs. General George E. Pickett and her son, Miss Aylett, Colonel Charles 
H. Barnes and wife, Mrs. Whitacre, wife of the Secretary of the Philadel- 
phia Brigade, and Mrs. Wilkinson, wife of Mayor Wilkinson, of West Pont, 
Va., occupied the Prince of Wales box. When Colonel Aylett expressed 



the thanks of General Pickett's widow and the Virginians for the hospitality 
extended to them during their visit to Philadelphia the audience gave fresh 
proofs of enthusiasm. 

The vast huilding resounded with applause as Ge .^ral W. F. (" Baldy ") 
Smith took his seat on one side of the Virginian am jeneral W. W. Burns, 
of the Philadelphia Brigade, was seated upon the other. When General S. 
Wylie Crawford, who fought from the first gun fired at Fort Sumter until 
the surrender at Appomattox, hobbled down upon crutches he was met with 
a storm of cheers. 

Scattered throughout the auditorium were many citizens of prominence. 
Among them were President of Common Council William M. Smith, 
Thomas Cochran of the Union League, United States District Attorney 
John R. Read, John Y. Huber, Postmaster William F. Harrity, John H. 
Michener, John L. Grim, W. W. Goodman, Councilmen Andrew J. Maloney 
and J. Fred Loeble of the First Ward, Major Roberts of the Seventy-second 
Regiment, Representative John E. Faunce, W. W. Alcorn, Major John H. 
Weeks, John Huggard, George D. McCreary, Colonel Robert P. Dechert, 
Hibbert P. John, Colonel James 0. Reilly, Ex-Councilman Joseph Han- 
cock, Charles S. Keyser, James Butterworth, Colonel Joseph T. Tobias, and 
large delegations wearing the buttons of the Grand Army of the Republic 
and the Loyal Legion. 

At the conclusion of the lecture, which was constantly interrupted by 
applause, Mrs. Pickett and the ladies held an impromptu reception in the 
green room, while Colonel Aylett dined Avith the Committee of the Brigade. 
John W. Frazier called the meeting to order, and Secretary Whitacre read 
letters of regret from Generals William T. Sherman and Joseph E. 
Johnston. 

The prospect now is that the monument will be dedicated during 1889. 



XXIII. 



THE NATIONAL CEMETERY AT GETTYSBURG. 



After the Battle of Gettysburg the herculean task of burying the dead 
was rapidly attended to, the hot weather and rapid decomposition rendering 
that duty imperative. Shallow ditches — and they were shallow — were dug, 
the bodies laid therein and a little dirt thrown over them. This imperfect 
burial, in fact scarce burial at all, horrified visitors to the battlefield and 
those who came seeking for the remains of their loved ones. The matter 
was laid before Governor Andrew Curtin, and that patriotic old war Gover- 
nor set the "ball rolling." He appointed a number of citizens of Gettysburg 
to purchase ground and provide for the proper interment of the dead. 
Seventeen acres on the Baltimore Turnpike, adjoining the Cemetery of the 
Evergreens, were obtained, each of the States whose troops had served on 
the Union line in the battle paying a proportion of the expense. The title 
was vested in the State of Pennsylvania in trust for the nation, and the Bat- 
tlefield Memorial Asseciation was created, consisting of one member from 
each State, to whose care it was given. 

William Saunders laid out the ground, the dead were taken from all 
parts of the battlefield, and conveyed to the enclosure. Many of the Union 
dead were removed to the North by their relatives, but still there remains 
in the National Cemetery and near where the centre of the Union line 
rested during the battle 3,575 bodies, of which 1,608 are "unknown." 

Within the Cemetery the statue of Major-General Reynolds, the fated 
leader of the first day's fight, is erected — the Monument of the First Corps is 
to occupy the spot where he fell. There, also, is the National Monument, 
the allegorical figures of which are depicted on the illuminated covers of this 



pamphlet. The National Moument, which is not the artistic structure it 
might be, was designed by Mr. J. G. Batterson of Hartford, Ct., who thus 
explains his ideas. 

The whole rendering of the desigu is purely historical. * * * The superstructure is sixty 
feet high, having a massive pedestal, twenty-five feet square at the base, and is crowned with a 
colossal statue representing the Genius of Liberty. Standing upon a three-quarter globe she 
raises in her right hand the victor's wreath of laurel, while with the left she gathers up the folds 
of our national flag, under which the victory was won. Projecting from the angles of the ped- 
estal are four buttresses, supporting an equal number of allegorical statues representing re- 
spectively War, History, Peace and Plenty. War is personified by a statue of the American 
soldier, who, resting from the conflict, relates to History the story of the battle which this 
monument is intended to commemorate. History in listening attitude records with stylus 
and tablet the achievments of the field and the names of the honored dead. Peace is symbol" 
ized by a statue of the American mechanic, characterized by appropriate accessories. Plenty 
is represented by a female figure, with a sheaf of wheat and fruits of the earth, typifying 
peace and abundance as the soldier's crowning triumph. The main die of the pedestal is oc- 
tagonal in form, paneled upon each face. The cornice and plinth above are also octagonal 
and are heavily moulded. Upon this plinth rests an octagonal moulded base bearing upon its 
face, in high relief, the national arms. The upper die and cap are circular in form, the die 
being encircled by stars equal in numbar with the States whose sons contributed their lives as 
the price of the victory won at Gettysburg. 

At the consecration of the Cemetery, November 19, 1864, President 
Abraham Lincoln delivered his matchless oration. The monument was 
completed in 1868, and after the addition of that address cast in bronze, to 
the design, it was dedicated July 1, 1869. 

From the Cemetery superb views of the battlefield and the surrounding 
country may be obtained, and this, with the care taken of the grounds and 
the perfect repose of its situation, makes it a fitting resting place for the 
Nation's Dead. 



XXIV. 



NATIONAL CEMETERIES OF THE UNITED STATES. 



The necessity for the Government to exclusively own the grounds in 
which deceased soldiers and sailors of the late war should be buried was 
demonstrated early in the struggle, and laws were passed empowering the 
purchase of lands for such purpose. Enactments to preserve the graves of 
soldiers from desecration and to secure the remains a permanent resting 
place, to be kept sacred forever, were also passed, and now every veteran of 
the late war can be interred, if his family choose, in Government reserva- 
tions secure from removal, and under the daily care and supervision of 
United States officials, with the flag they defended floating over them every 
day from sunrise to sunset. 

The following table of interments in the various National Cemeteries was 
furnished us by the Quartermaster-General of the United States Army, May 
22, 1888:

UNITED VETERANS OF THE BLUE AND THE GRAY. 



FLORIDA BIVOUAC NO. 1. 



The headquarters of the United Veterans of the Blue and the Gray will be established on 
the field at Gettysburg during the Re-Union, and designated by its banner, its position to be 
tissigned by the Committee of the Society of the Army of the Potomac. 

The organization was suggested to Mr. L. Y. Jenness, the present Commander, by the Re- 
Union <>n the Battlefield of Gettysburg, and at Evausville, Ind., during the summer of 1887. 
After consultation with two or three other gentlemen, Mr. Jenness issued a call, which was 
responded to on the evening of August 16, 1887, by L. Y. Jenness, 32d Mass. ; W. C. Zimmer- 
man, 4th Alabama; Thomas P. Lloyd, 4th Georgia; C. C. Peck, 40th Wisconsin ; J. W. Flem- 
ing, .'th Alabama ; John P. Cobb, 2d North Carolina; M. R. Burns, 5th Mississippi Cavalry; 
II. Van Petten, 2od Michigan ; C. C. Wickersham, 1st Indiana Light Battery ; G. W. 
Thomas, 3d Florida ; S. Weeks, 1st Florida Cavalry ; A. H. Ravisies, 8th Alabama ; J. A. 
Armktead, 39th Battalion Virginia Cavalry; Turner Landrum,od Florida; J. C. Preist, Dick- 
erson Cavalry ; II. J. McCoy, G5th Ind. ; J. R. Temple, 59th Ohio Volunteers; S. Stringer, 
Surgeon P. A. C. S. ; John M. Reddick, Florida Infantry; Fred. L. Robertson, 2d South Caro- 
lina. Florida Bivouac No. 1, U. V. B. G., was then formed, a simple set of by-laws adopted, 
and tho following officers were elected for the succeeding year : 

J. W. Jenness, Commander; J. W. Flemming, First Lieutenant Commander; C. C. Peck, 
Second Lieutenaut-Commander; S. Stringer, Surgeon; M. R. Burns, Adjutant; H. Van Pec- 
ten, Chaplain; C. C. Wickersharfn, Quartermaster; A. H. Ravisies, Commissary; T. P. 
Lloyd, Lieutenant of Guard ; S. Weeks, Color Bearer; J. M. Reddick, Chief Musician; Fred. 
L. Robertson, Assistant Adjutant. 

The idea has been cordially taken hold of in twelve States in the Union. The uniform is a 
handsome combination of blue and gray, and the badge a bronze canteen with a Federal and 
Contederato sujejier in relief, swapping coffee and tobacco between the lines, as in days of old. 



XXXI. 



A PRISONER IN GETTYSBURG. 



I do not know who the Confederate Provost Mashal was during the occu- 
pancy of Gettysburg by General Lee. I wish I did, for a more gallant-ap- 
pearing officer I never met, and of the social and agreeable kind, too. With- 
out doubt the Confederate officers, if not the men, as a rule, entertained a 
much more bitter feeling towards the enemy than did the Unionists. It 
was quite the custom for the haughty Southron, clad in shabby gray — often- 
times unkempt and unclean — when taken prisoner, to draw himself up with 
a cold and repellant air, and refuse all but " official " intercourse with his 
captors. This was particularly the case in the early stages of the war, but 
somehow it has a softening, humanizing effect upon men to die together, 
though by each other's hands, and so by the close Of the war both sides had 
grown quiet amiable, glad, I suppose, to be humanized by having some- 
body else killed. 

The Provost Marshal of Gettysburg was, however, not of the repellant 
kind. He was a Lieutenant-Colonel, a very handsome man and with a uni- 
form quite fresh and bright. We had been wounded on the first day — my- 
self and many others I mean. Most of us had been knocked over in the 
early afternoon, and had been carried back to the town and to a church 
which had been made an hospital. We had not been there long when such 
of us aa could hobble to the door saw what was left of the First Corps — which 
had been, while acting as the advance guard of the army, broken and defeated 
but not dismayed — marching by the flank through the town. I was one of 
the hobblers, and I shall never forget the firm, set, determined features of 
the men. We couldn't go with them, but we afterwards learned that they 
met that " Confederate ally," Hancock, outside and on another day there 
was another tale to tell. 



"We hobbled back to our cots again, not much the better for what we had 
seen, and soon an attendant came and told us the Eebels,had relieved our 
guards and they were collecting all the non-wounded men except the ^ tow- 
ards, nurses, &c, and sending them to the rear. As most, if not all of the 
non-wounded men were skulkers and coffee-coolers that didn't matter much. 
I managed to save my man, who had carried me from the field, by tying a 
white handkerchief aroud his arm. 

It was about eight o'clock in the evening when the lieutenant-Colonel 
came in — the Provost Marshal I mean. He approached the group of cots 
occupied by officers, and greeted us quite cheerily. "Good evening gen- 
tlemen," he said. "I trust none of you is seriously hurt. You have your 
own surgeons and men here, and they will not be disturbed." 

We saw that he was not of the repellant sort and so soon began to ply him 
with questions. He was quite communicative. Lee's Army was practically 
all up and flushed with victory. The Union army was very much demoral- 
ized. "We shall walk over it to-morrow," he said. And then he added 
something about the time they expected to arrive in Philadelphia. 

Now, the truth is I had always been rather an optimist in this matter of 
preserving the Union, and although things certainly did look rather black, I 
somehow had no confidence in that trip to Philadelphia, and so I replied to 
the Colonel. 

" I say, Colonel, if there should happen to be any ' just cause or impedi- 
ment ' which prevents that Avalk-over would you mind dropping in and tell- 
ing us about it ?" 

He laughed a little and said he would. 

We listened to the horrible din all the next day; the roar of artillery and 
the rattle of musketry, (which seemed to us to come from every direction), 
often with bated breath. Some of us had sad duties, too. There were those 
who were seriously hurt, and as their wounds took on that condition which 
indicates death's firmest grasp, those of us again who could hobble about 
were called to their bedside to receive their dying messages. " I would like 
to have seen it over," said one, and another who had lain in a stupor, suddenly 
opened his eyes, and to the ear bent to his lips, muttered, " Tell my 
mother — " but the tale was never told. 

It was late in the evening of the second day when the Lieutenant- Colonel ap- 
peared again. He smiled as usual when he approached us, though I fancied not 
as cheerily as before. " It has been a terrible day," he said. The Army of the 
Potomac was all in front of Lee now, and the fight had been raging with 
varied success all day and had closed with the advantage all in favor of the 
South. He spoke of the position on Cemetery Hill as a very strong one, 
and said its capture was a necessity. They had been waiting for Pickett, 



and to-morrow afternoon at four a charge would be made upon it and it 
would be taken. 

We were in much improved spirits. "We had all some experience, and 
knew that when very hard fighting was the order that if the Army of the 
Potomac was not whipped very soon it was not apt to be whipped at all. 

" If the Army of the Potomac is planted/'' said one, ''you won't be able 
to dig it up." 

And as the Colonel was about retiring I called after him, thus : 

" I say, Colonel — that strong position of which you speak — that is a mat- 
ter in which we have much interest, as you will concede. Would you mind 
calling or sending us word about the time you take it." 

He laughed pleasantly again. " You will see," he said. 

We knew when the charge took place well enough. It was to us, in the 
noise which was made, as though all hell had broken loose. We knew from 
the sounds and the signs, too, when it had failed. 

It grew still, as night crept on. The Colonel was late in making his ap- 
pearance, and there was no smile in response to our eager greetings. 

"Yes, the charge has failed. There has been a dreadful loss." He lin- 
gered but a little while, and was reticent. He said, however, that another 
charge was to be made at four o'clock in the morning, and the position 
would be taken. 

" Do not fail to notify us, Colonel," I said. 

" No, I will not. Good night." 

" That is good-bye." I said to an officer on a stretcher beside me. 

Our sleep was rather of the desultory character, and we were all wide 
enough awake at four o'clock, but there were no sounds indicating a charge. 

A little later an attendant rushed in. " Our men are skirmishing through 

the town," he said. We hobbled to the street, and there sure enough were 

the boys in blue, moving after the manner of skirmishers, quick, eager, alert, 

watchful, gradually moving through the town. We gave a rather feeble 

cheer of welcome, and then were driven to cover by two or three shots in 

rapid succession from sharpshooters over towards the Seminary. Lee and 

his defeated battalions, brave among the bravest, had struck a rock they 

could not break, and were marching back to the "sacred soil." With the 

rear-guard was the handsome, dark-eyed Lieutenant-Colonel, who did not 

come to tell us of the second charge, 

William J. Stakes, 

104th New York Vols. 



XXXII. 



THE FORCES ENGAGED AT GETTYSBURG. 



The number of men who took part in the battle will ever be a subject of 
controversy, owing to the long marches previous to the battle and 'the im- 
possibility of estimating the number of stragglers counted as present but 
who did not participate in the fighting. 

The nearest approximation and possibly the fairest is that of the Comte 
de Paris, which we use here as a fair statement. 

The Army of the Potomac bore on its return, on July 1, 1863, 2,750 
men who took no part in the battle, 7,000 Artillery, 10,500 Cavalry, and 
85,500 Infantry, a total of 105,750 men and 352 pieces of Artillery, but 
deducting the Heavy Artillery in reserve at Westminster, the guards 
on supply trains, the stragglers, &c, the effective force of Meade was from 
82,000 to 84,000 men, with 327 guns. 

The Army of Northern Virginia, on May 31, 1863, contained an effective 
force of 88,754 officers and men, of whom the following were under arms : 
General Staff and Infantry, 59,420 men ; Cavalry, 10,292 ; Artillery, 4,756 ; a 
total of 74,468 men, with 206 pieces of Artillery. Deducting all the losses 
by various means, the Brigades and Regiments absent, stragglers, &c, and 
adding the conscripts and Brigades, the Army of Northern Virginia arrived 
on the Battlefield of Gettysburg with 5,000 men more than it had on May 
31, 1863 — or in the neighborhood of 80,000 men. Deducting the mounted 
men from this, Lee brought into actual combat during the three days of 
July, from 68,000 to 69,000 men and 250 guns, against Meade's 82,000 or 
84,000 men and 300 guns collected on the field. 

Meade had, therefore, from 18,000 to 19,000 men more than his adversary, 
a superiority of nearly one-fourth, which, unfortunately for him, he was, 
unable to turn to advantage .

The Confederates always kept their regiments filled np by conscripts or 
recruits, while the Union Army maintained a number of skeleton organiza- 
tions by sending out new men in new regiments, hence the noticeable dis- 
crepancy in the number of organizations.

ABSOLUTION UNDER FIRE. 



AN INCIDENT IN THE IRISH BRIGADE AT GETTYSBURG. 

(with illustration.) 

The troops that arrived upon the field or changed their positions did so 
leisurely and unmolested. Sickles came up and went into position on our 
left, and Geary took his division over to Culp's hill. About 10 o'clock 
picket firing was heard out towards Little Round Top, continuing at inter- 
vals until long after noon, at times becoming quite sharp. But three o'clock 
came, and still no signs of the general engagement. The boys had partly 
recovered from their fatigue, and were actually beginning to enjoy life ; 
some of them indulged in a quiet game of euchre, while others toasted their 
hard tack or fried a little bacon at the small fires in the rear of the lines. 
Shortly after three o'clock, a movement was apparent on our left. From 
where we (Caldwell's Division) lay, the whole country in our front, and far to 
our left, away to the peach orchard and to Little Round Top, was in full view. 
Our division stood in brigade columns, and when it became evident that 
something was going to take place, the boys dropped their cards regardless 
of what was trump — even the man who held both bowers and the ace — and 
all gathered on the most favorable position to witness the opening of the 
ball. Soon the long lines of the Third Corps are seen advancing, and how 
splendidly they march. It looks like a dress parade, a review. On, on 
they go, out towards the peach orchard, but not a shot is fired. A little 
while longer, and some one calls out, " There \" and points to where a puff 
of smoke is seen arising against tho dark green of the woods. Another and an- 
other cloud until the whole face of the forest is enveloped, and the dread sound 
of the artillery comes loud and quick ; shells are seen bursting in all directions 
along the lines. The bright colors of the regiment are conspicuous marks, 



and the shells burst around, them in great numbers. The musketry begins, 
the infantry became engaged, and the battle extends along the whole front 
of Sickles' Corps. Now the sounds come from Little Round Top, and the 
smoke rises among the trees, and all the high and wooded ground to the 
left of the peach orchard seems to be the scene of strife. An hour passes 
and our troops give way and are falling back ; but slowly, very slowly, every 
inch of ground fought for. The Third Corps is not in the habit of giving 
it up, and they hold their own well ; but the odds are against them and 
they are forced to retire. 

Now help is called for, and Hancock tells Caldwell to have his division 
ready. " Fall in I" and the men run to their places. " Take arms !" and 
the four brigades of Zook, Cross, Brook and Kelly are ready for the fray. 
There is yet a few minutes to spare before starting, and the time is occupied 
in one of the most impressive religious ceremonies I have ever witnessed. 
The Irish Brigade, which had been commanded formerly by General Thomas 
Francis Meagher, and whose green flag has been unfurled in every battle in 
which the Army of the Potomac had been engaged, from the first Bull Run 
to Appomattox, and was now commanded by Colonel Patrick Kelly of the 
Eighty-eighth New York, formed a part of this division. The brigade 
stood in columns of regiments, closed in mass. As a large majority of its 
members were Catholics, the Chaplain of the brigade, Rev. William Corby, 
proposed to give a general absolution to all the men before going into the 
fight. While this is customary in the armies of the Catholic countries in 
Europe, it was, perhaps, the first time it was ever witnessed on this conti- 
nent, unless, indeed, the grim old warrior, Ponce de Leon, as he tramped 
through the everglades of Florida, in search of the Fountain of Youth, or De 
Soto on his march to the Mississippi, indulged in this act of devotion. 
Father Corby stood on a large rock in front of the brigade. Addressing the 
men, he explained what he was about to do, saying that each one could re- 
ceive the benefit of the absolution by making a sincere act of contrition and 
firmly resolving to embrace the first opportunity of confessing their sins, 
urging them to do their duty well, and reminding them of the high and 
sacred nature of their trust as soldiers, and the noble object for which they 
fought, ending by saying that the Catholic Church refuses Christian burial 
to the soldier who turns his back upon the foe or deserts his flag. The 
brigade was standing at " Order Arms." As he closed his address every man 
fell on his knees, with head bowed down. Then stretching his right hand 
towards the brigade, Father Corby pronounced the words of the absolution : 
" Dominus noster Jesus Christus vos absolvat et ego, auctoritate ipsius, vos 
absolvo ab omni vinculo excommunicationis et interdicti in quantum possum 
et vos indigetis, deinde ego vos absolvo a peccatis vestris, in nomini Patris, 
et Filii, et Spritus Sancti. Amen." The scene was more than impressive, 



it was awe-inspiring. Nearby stood Hancock, surrounded by a brilliant 
throng of officers, who had gathered to witness this very unusual occurrence, 
and while there was profound silence in the ranks of the Second Corps, yet 
over to the left, out* by the peach orchard and Little Round Top, where 
Weed and Vincent and Ilaslett were dying, the roar of the battle rose and 
swelled and re-echoed through the woods, making music more sublime than 
ever sounded through cathedral aisle. The act seemed to be in harmony 
with all the surroundings. I do not think there was a man in the brigade who 
did not offer up a heartfelt prayer. For some it was their last ; they knelt 
there in their grave-clothes — in less than half an hour many of them were 
numbered with the dead of July 2. "Who can doubt that their prayers were 
good ? What was wanting in the eloquence of the priest to move them to 
repentance was supplied in the incidents of the fight. That heart would be 
incorrigible indeed that the scream of a Whitworth bolt, added to Father 
Corby's touching appeal, would not move to contrition. — Major Haverty's 
III nitrated Catholic Almanac. 



BABY'S SHOE. 



The following incident is told by Adjutant Thomas J. Courter of John 
M. Wheeler, Post No. 94, Department of New Jersey : 

John M. Wheeler fell during the battle of Banks' Ford, a part of the 
Chancellorsville campaign, May 3, 1863, and died in the hands of the 
enemy. His wife and only baby boy were ever in his thoughts. Once when 
one of those "boxes from home " came to the frou and to our tent — and 
we always shared our boxes of good things together — and the knick-knacks 
and the little articles for comfort that loving hands had made were beino- 
unpacked, he found a little baby shoe. The wife wrote that as they were 
packing the box the little fellow toddled across the floor and threw it in, 
and they would not take it out, but let it go down to papa in the army. 
^ The shoe was found near the heart of the wounded man, when cared for 
by the surgeon.
